Boat sinks off Oceanside pier, leaks fuel

A fishing vessel that sank Saturday morning at an Oceanside pier leaked 100 gallons of diesel fuel in the Hog Island Channel, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

Lived in Nassau County for close to 40 years and never knew there was a pier in Oceanside. Reading through the goobly **** I wonder where it is. I hope they listen to Woody and clean it up FAST.

Don't let BIG OIL hear about this, they might be tempted to collude another raise in oil prices hearing 100 gallons of oil was lost.

I've been living here 40+yrs and never heard of a pier in O'side or Hog Channel... Where the heck is 'Hog Channel'? Maybe they mean a floating dock instead of a pier? The only thing I can figure is it must be over by Island Park. If anyone knows where Hog Channel is please post!

Heading out of bay park (East Rockaway) Hog Channel would be to your left. That area is accessible from oil city ... go over the hill on Lawson and make a right

[This sucks]

it's the fishing boats (6-8 big boats) that are kept along the bulkhead in oil city. Their are problems in the whole area and is being watched. It left a nice red slick from oceanside, e-rock, i-p l-b to the ocean. A few weeks ago you han novacks and now this all int the same area.
