Cougar Ace Disaster

[Quatchi]

Hi,

I know this isn't a ferry but it is RO/RO car vessel. Back in 2006 the Cougar Ace capsized up by Alaska while bringing Mazda cars over to north America from asia. This article tells quite an interesting story of the 5-10 guys who righted a 199m long ship off the Alaskan coast.

It was definitely worth the read to me. I found the article quite interesting.

Cheers,
