Report from ‘Noah’s Arks’ (10/20)

The U.S. Maritime Administration recently posted a message from the SIU-crewed Cape Victory detailing some of the vessel’s experiences during Hurricane Rita, along with those of the Seafarers-crewed Cape Vincent.

“The two MARAD ships homeported at Beaumont, Texas, took on board police dogs as well as emergency equipment and personnel from six jurisdictions,” the agency noted.

More information, including a link to photos, is available on the Maritime Administration site here
