Tug takes ship under tow near Aleutians

The 738-foot tanker Golden Seas makes 3.5 mph through 20-foot seas 50 miles north of Adak Island Dec. 3, 2010. Coast Guard aircrews were launched from Air Station Kodiak in response to a report that the Golden Seas had lost propulsion and was drifting but the crew of the vessel reported to a Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules aircrew that they had regained propulsion and were waiting on a tug to escort them to Dutch Harbor when the aircrew arrived and made contact with the vessel captain.

A powerful tugboat had a partially disabled cargo ship under tow late Saturday in a remote area of the Aleutians and the two were making their way to Dutch Harbor, the Coast Guard said.
