Workers Straighten Ship Full of New Cars
Crews have righted a ship loaded with new cars and SUVs that had tilted onto its side a month ago in the north Pacific.
The Cougar Ace, which had been listing severely south of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, is being prepared for a tow to Portland, Ore., the Anchorage Daily News reported.
The ship listed to its port side July 23 as its crew was attempting to adjust the ship’s ballast water. The Cougar Ace has been moored northwest of Dutch Harbor since Aug. 8, when tugboats pulled the vessel into the port. It was righted Thursday.
