    The derelict tugboat Lumberman is towed by a crew aboard the (not pictured) Coast Guard Cutter John McCormick, a 154-foot Sentinel–class vessel, to a position 54 miles west of Cross Sound, Alaska, on May 2, 2021. The decision to dispose of the Lumberman at sea, which had been abandoned in the Gastineau channel in 2016, was made after it was determined to be derelict and posed a significant public safety risk.

    An aerial or elevated view of two vessels navigating a calm fjord or inlet surrounded by snow-capped, forested mountains. The left vessel displays a red-and-blue diagonal stripe consistent with U.S. Coast Guard markings, while the right vessel appears to be a smaller, darker tugboat or workboat. The wake trail between the two vessels suggests they may be traveling in proximity, possibly in a towing or escort operation.
    An aerial photograph shows two vessels underway on a calm, grey-green body of water surrounded by snow-capped mountains, likely in Alaska or the Pacific Northwest. The lead vessel is a white US Coast Guard cutter with a distinctive diagonal red stripe, followed by a smaller brown/rust-colored fishing or commercial vessel. Both ships are traveling in the same direction, sharing a visible wake trail.
