Rescue teams made contact Monday with four crew members still inside the Golden Ray, a day after the cargo ship capsized off the coast of Georgia, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The crew members apparently became trapped in the engine room Sunday after the vessel overturned and caught fire in the early morning hours on the St. Simons Sound off the coast of Brunswick, about 80 miles south of Savannah.

South Korea's foreign ministry said Sunday that the Hyundai Glovis cargo ship Golden Ray, which was transporting automobiles, had begun listing and then capsized. It was unclear how many vehicles were being shipped.

The Golden Ray, which is 656-feet-long, 106-feet-wide, was sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands, the ministry said.

The ship had 24 people on board, including 23 crew members and one pilot, the Coast Guard said.

Jax news has been reporting it rolled in St Simons Sound. Admittedly, I haven’t read much beyond that and had assumed it had moved into the sound to avoid Dorian.

That has got to be one scary arse feeling being stranded inside a ship having no clue whether you will be saved or not

When salvage crews raised the battleship West Virginia six months after the Pearl Harbor attacks, they found the bodies of three sailors huddled in an airtight storeroom — and a calendar on which 16 days had been crossed off in red pencil.

Honolulu Advertiser

At first, everyone thought it was a piece of loose rigging slapping against the wrecked hull of the USS West Virginia.
Bang. Bang.

To the survivors on land, it was just another noise amid the carnage of Pearl Harbor a day after the Dec. 7, 1941, attack. Like the sound of fireboats squirting water on the USS Arizona. Or the hammers chipping into the overturned hull of the Oklahoma.

But they realized the grim truth the next morning, in the quiet dawn. Someone was still alive, trapped deep in the forward hull of the sunken battleship.


Bang. Bang.
The Marines standing guard covered their ears. There was nothing anyone could do.
When salvage crews raised the West Virginia six months later, they found the bodies of three men huddled in an airtight storeroom: Ronald Endicott, 18; Clifford Olds, 20; and Louis “Buddy” Costin, 21.

But the most haunting discovery was the calendar.
Sixteen days had been crossed off in red pencil. The young sailors had marked their time, not knowing what had happened to their ship or that their country was at war.

Bet you those women are watching the boat on their iPhones instead of seeing the ship in real life.

that pic is from the little beach by the Jeckyll fishing center.

I went on a google map exploration to find it.

Not sure what you want them to be doing? i assume they looked at the ship when they got there. Do you want them to continually stare at it?
