[lbo-talk] What's up off California?

[John Thornton]

A few years back something similar happened and it turned out that the oil 
source was an oil tanker that sank back in the early '50's. I know there is 
still a large oil tanker (for it's time) that the Japanese torpedoed in the 
early '40's that has millions of gallons of oil still in tanks off the 
coast somewhere. Maybe this is the source?
