davelliott 40 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 We were told by the captain before we got to Skagway that we would have to tender since the pier was not safe for pedestrian traffic. We had to board the life boats to get to the pier. I took a bunch of photos to post but since we have non-voom, I can't get one picture to upload. I will add them when I get home. I found out that the life boats do work! JLMoran and DocLC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davelliott 40 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Here are a couple of photos that show what is left of the slide in Skagway. One of the tour guides said that much of the dirt and rocks had already been removed. I could see some of the debris in the train cars that were parked on the pier.

twangster 25,050 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Second slide in two weeks. The first occurred as two ships has just tied up. They ended up moving those ships to another pier. Other ships skipped Skagway and found alternates that day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
