The cargo ship foundered in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal with the loss of all 30 crew. Researchers consider this incident to be one of the 22 supercarrier losses very likely associated with rogue wave encounters between 1968 and 1995.[2][3]
The longliner′s crew abandoned ship after she suffered a propane explosion in her galley and subsequently was gutted by fire in the Bering Sea 120 nautical miles (220 km; 140 mi) northwest of Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands.

The United States Coast Guard sank her drifting wreck on 14 February.[8]

A United States Coast Guard helicopter rescued both people – a man and his six-year-old son – on board.[10]
