The 50,000-ton, 940-guest luxury liner, Crystal Harmony, rescued four persons who were floating in a life raft after evacuating their burning freighter in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Feb. Less than two hours following Crystal Harmony’s afternoon departure from St. Thomas, crewmembers observed the Loraine, a small, 206-ton inter-island freighter engulfed in flames and smoke and a nearby bobbing life raft carrying four people. While contacting the United States Coast Guard, Crystal Harmony altered its course and initiated the rescue mission. The captain and all three crew members from the Loraine were safely rescued, and brought aboard Crystal Harmony for immediate medical screening and treatment.
