Car Carrier Cougar Ace sinking outside Alaska
Michael Martin:
This Website shows pictures of the cargo decks [about halfway down the page] and how vehicles are loaded out. Suffice it to say, most of the vehicles will be structurally write-offs as the straps are at best designed for only minimal side loading. More than likely the remains will be shipped back to the factory to recycle the mechanical and electrical parts.
John Stokes:
You could dismantle one and put the bits in the oven! :-D
As a new member could someone out there point me in the direction of photos of the Tricolour salvage?

Anything new on the "Cougar Ace"? It reminds a little bit on the "Flying Enterprise" which developed a list Dec 1951 off the US-coast. All of the passengers and the crew but the captain were rescued. Captain Carlsen remained on board the severely listing ship and was later joined by Kenneth Dancy of the tug "Turmoil". They tried desperately for almost two weeks to get the ship into port, but on Jan 10, 1952, the ship finally had to be abandoned, capsized and sank.
