USS Buffalo (1898-1927, later AD-8)
Assisting the grounded three-masted wooden cannery bark Paramita
in Lost Harbor, Akun Island, Alaska in May or June 1914.
Paramita was run aground in Lost Harbor after flooding
from an earlier grounding in a storm at Ugamak Island on 14 May
1914 ignited lime in her holds. Heavy seas later destroyed the
wreck.
