FAN FAVORITE: Fire at Sea: Cruise Ship Rescue | The Blaze | 1
About this episode
The episode recounts the harrowing fire aboard the luxury cruise ship Prinsendam and the subsequent rescue efforts in the Gulf of Alaska.
In October of 1980, the luxury cruise ship Prinsendam set sail from Vancouver with more than 300 passengers aboard, many of whom were elderly. But just after midnight on the cruise’s fourth day, in the Gulf of Alaska, a fire broke out in the ship’s engine room. The crew battled to contain the blaze, but with limited firefighting equipment, it was unclear if they could prevent the fire from spreading, and threatening the entire ship.
