Rockslide damages cruise dock in Skagway, forces ship to skip port call
A rockslide early Thursday closed the cruise ship dock in Skagway, prompting one vessel to skip that port altogether.
Part of the dock was damaged during the slide just before 6:30 a.m., according to Jacqui Taylor, a spokeswoman for dock owners White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. No one was injured as the slide sent rock, dirt and vegetation tumbling from a mountainside above the dock.
There were no passengers disembarking at the time, Taylor said. The railway’s geotechnical engineers were assessing the damage Thursday afternoon.
