BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Cleanup is underway after a boat sank in Squalicum Harbor earlier this week.

The state Department of Ecology says the boat began sinking on Tuesday.

Crews immediately placed booms around the vessel to soak up any leaking fuel or oil.

Over the past few days, divers plugged holes and diesel was siphoned off the boat.

Crews will remain onsite until all the oil is soaked up from the waters.
