An oil spill off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina was located and photographed. Using a Buffalo photographic aircraft, which was equipped with two aerial cameras and a thermal IR scanner, the photo crew found the spill about 80 miles from the reported position of the sinking of the stern section. Imagery was obtained, processed and delivered for inspection. It was speculated that the bow of the ship had been carried by ocean currents to its eventual location where it sank and released its cargo of oil.
