The ship, which left from Long Beach, Calif., on Nov. 7, was 200 miles south of San Diego when an engine room fire cut its power early Nov. 8, according to a statement from Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines. The ship began drifting off the coast of northern Baja California. Navy helicopters shuttled in supplies on Nov. 9 to 4,500 passengers and crew members expected to remain stranded on the disabled cruise ship through Wednesday night. Gregory Bull/AP

Hurricane-strength gusts set loose a Carnival cruise ship which had been tethered to a dock in Mobile, Alabama on Wednesday. The ship, known as Triumph, is undergoing repairs following a February engine fire. No one was injured in Wednesday's incident; all crew members and contractors were accounted for.
The crippled cruise ship whose sewage-filled breakdown in the Gulf of Mexico subjected thousands to horrendous conditions tore loose Wednesday from the dock where it's being repaired, lumbered downriver and crunched into a cargo ship.
