American Dynasty hits Canadian navy frigate

Media reports out of Victoria, British Columbia, say the factory trawler American Dynasty yesterday crashed into a docked Canadian warship.

Here's a report from the Times Colonist of Victoria.

And here's another report with better video of the bizarre mishap.

The 272-foot American Dynasty belongs to Seattle-based American Seafoods. It's one of several factory trawlers the company operates in the Bering Sea pollock fishery.

The news reports say tugs were moving the trawler for maintenance when the incident occurred.

Six people were said to be injured, apparently none seriously.

Coast Guard investigates allision

JUNEAU — The Coast Guard is investigating an allision between the 935-foot cruise ship Westerdam and ice in the vicinity of Yakutat Bay.

The Westerdam was reportedly maneuvering through ice Tuesday evening near Hubbard Glacier when it sustained damage about 15 feet below the waterline.

The hull was reportedly not breached and no injuries or pollution were reported.
