Survival through coping strategies for resilience following a ship accident in polar waters
On 19 June 1989, the cruise liner Maksim Gorkiy hit an ice floe southwest of Svalbard. The passengers and parts of her crew abandoned the ship. In a massive rescue operation 953 crew and passengers were rescued, in addition to the ship. This is only one of several examples of serious ship accidents...
