Accidents

The "Spirit of Glacier Bay", named the "Spirit of Nantucket" at the time, ran aground on November 8, 2007 while cruising the Intercoastal Waterway near Virginia Beach, VA. The vessel struck a submerged, uncharted object and the captain ordered for the ship to be run aground. 66 people were on the ship at the time with zero injuries. Coast Guard officials said the cruise ship's captain acted properly by running the ship aground to prevent it from sinking. At least one survivor said she never felt in danger. [cite news
