Canadian Liner Sinks All Saved After Coast Guard Rescue
The Canadian Pacific Liner Princess Kathleen ran aground off Juneau at 3 15 am and sank by afternoon after rescuers evacuated 425 aboard. Captain Graham O Hughes said the ship’s position was misread in darkness. Coast Guard cutters ferried passengers to shore while ladders and roads were improvised for the younger travelers. One survivor suffered a heart attack, and authorities praised the rescue as smooth despite six foot seas and rain. The incident follows earlier losses of nearby ships, including the Princess Sophia in 1918.
