The profile of this ship on the Strait of Juan de Fuca caught my attention last Saturday evening. It was at considerable distance, near the Port of Port Angeles. On Sunday I learned that there was a story behind this ship. It is a 685-foot U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command cargo ship, Cape Intrepid. After an extended docking in Tacoma it was undergoing sea trials when it lost power last Saturday afternoon about 65 miles northwest of Sequim. It drifted in Canadian waters until two emergency tugs towed it to Port Angeles for evaluation. The last I read of its adventure this week was that it was towed from Port Angeles for repairs.
Like this one.
I hate when I run out of power and have to be towed! Love this silhouette, though.
UH-OH!
The engineers are going to be crawling all over that trying to figure it out.
Very interesting. Love the wires that show up on the ship.
I like all the grays.
The gray tones are perfect for this photo and for the story, also.
Towing a ship of that size would be an interesting feat to watch. Wonder how many tug boats were involved.
