Limping Ship Hits High Waves


Wed, 8 Dec 4:02 PM EST - AP 2:04
 Troubled cruise ship rocked by huge waves

An Antarctic cruise ship with more than 160 on board lost an engine on the high seas, but managed to find its way home after a pretty terrifying experience. Huge waves slammed into the ship with 88 American passengers and 77 crew members aboard, but the ship's crew overcame the minor damage to the engine before the ship was swamped or foundered and headed it safely back to its scheduled port on Wednesday evening. I wonder how many of those folks managed to keep their dinner down.
