Ketchikan, Alaska - The Coast Guard received notification that the fishing vessel Huntress was disabled adrift on the east side of Pennock Island in the Tongass Narrows in Southeastern Alaska at 3:20 p.m. Tuesday.

The Huntress was participating in the Southeast shrimp fishery when their engines cut out. The crew of the Huntress suspects the problem was likely caused by contaminated fuel.
