A riverboat-style cruise ship ran aground off the Alaska coast early Monday, forcing an evacuation of more than 200 passengers before it could move again with a Coast Guard escort, Anchorage Daily News reports.As the ship's pumps worked to remove the water, the passengers were transferred to other boats in the area and then to the ferry to be taken to Juneau.
The ship left under its own power and arrived in Juneau with a Coast Guard escort about 10 hours after the grounding.
