The Canadian Coast Guard is still dealing with a partially submerged yacht that was spilling fuel in Vancouver’s Coal Harbor.

The 54-foot yacht, called the Rockin Chair, ran aground Monday in Stanley Park near the Nine O’Clock Gun.

Diesel fuel from the 54-year-old wooden boat could be seen in the water on Monday.

Since then, the coast guard has installed an oil absorption barrier around the ship.

The Rockin Twin Engine Chair has a 470 gallon fuel capacity.
