The main section of the New Carissa's stern is battered by surf Friday, March 24, 2000, about 600 feet off the beach near Coos Bay, Ore. Once considered floatable for deep-sea burial, it is now stuck in the sand. A smaller section of the stern, left, is almost entirely submerged and contains an unknown quanity of residual fuel. 24 March 2000.Doug Beghtel/The Oregonian
