Summary

Description
English: A U.S. Coast Guard Sikorsky HH-3F Pelican helicopter hovers near the stern of the Holland-America liner MS Prinsendam (ca. 520 passengers and crew) in the Gulf of Alaska. The liner was sailing through the Gulf of Alaska, approximately 190 km south of Yakutat, Alaska, at midnight on 4 October 1980, when a fire broke out in the engine room. United States Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard helicopters and the cutters USCGC Boutwell (WHEC-719), USCGC Mellon (WHEC-717), and USCGC Woodrush (WLB-407) responded in concert with other vessels in the area. The passenger vessel later capsized and sank.
