  • AK-2011.5.8#033.4. The F/V Cape Cross ran aground for the final time on July 26,2010. It was built in 1943 for the US Navy as a transport vessel. Designated USS APc-25, APc-1class. It was sent to the Solomon Islands where along with transport duties it did search and rescues. It survived numerous attacks from Japanese war planes. After World War II it was transferred through over a dozen different owners, mostly Canadian serving in fish packing fleets. It's final home port was Seattle Washington until it hit an uncharted pinnacle in Main Bay, Prince William Sound Alaska and ran aground.
