I worked at Fishing company of Alaska for many of years. I am now a captain. FCA had a no drinking policy. This engineer was not on watch at the time of the incident. Nor was he drunk. That accusation was made by a seaman named Morales who spoke with a lawyer and wants a payoff for neglegence. The vessel was punctured by ice. The chief died at work supporting his family. At least give him the decency of resting in peace.

I knew your grandfather very well. He was a great man. Captain Pete was one of the best men I had met in my 12 years of going to sea. I worked with him on the Alaska Pioneer.Everybody always liked and respected him. He was a darned good man and captain. sorry for your loss.

My sympathy goes out to all of the families. I recently separated from the Coast Guard and there is nothing like saving another life. I was on the Coast Guard Cutter Active out of Port Angeles, Washing and we conducted search and resuce missions constantly in high seas. Semper Paratus baby!

re/seattle times story on drunk c/e. while it is not against federal regs to drink onboard ,it is against rules to drink before or durring watch.after working over twenty ships as engineering oficer ,i cant think any reason for ship to continue to run in reverse while crew tries to enter liferafts, drunkeness would explain.
