On December 18, 1975, the SS Gulf Solar was lifting a cargo of gasoline alongside a pier at North Kenai, Alaska (port of Nikiski). On that date, while serving as Master of the Gulf Solar, Captain Ole R. Johannessen gave up his life in the highest tradition of the sea because he was trying to find out why an ice-blocked valve had been permitted to delay loading for more than two hours. A seaman and the Second Mate perished with him.
