ELEUTHERA — The latest information out of Eleuthera has confirmed that a deadly steam accident on board a ship Friday afternoon, reportedly registered as “New Amsterdam,” – allegedly a Holland America Cruise Ship, has claimed the lives of two foreign nationals. Sources on the island said two Bahamian men were injured as well.
Local authorities reported just before 3:00 pm March 22, 2024 that police on Eleuthera were investigating an incident onboard a vessel that is moored at Half Moon Cay.
Police said two crew members reportedly died as a result of steam pip explosion, but did not release the nationality of those victims.
The fire has been extinguished and local authorities are on scene investigating the incident, police said.
I’m currently on this boat and we were told it was not a fire but a steam leak.
hi do you know the names of 2?
The 2 victims came from Indonesia and the Philippines. As for the name, we’ll keep it a secret
This info is completely inaccurate. No fire. The name of the ship is Nieuw Amsterdam, not New Amsterdam. Geesh. You guys suck.
🤣👍 there was a fire. And New Amsterdam is wholly appropriate.
