A Coast Guard helicopter hoisted a man from the Holland America ship Eurodam around 10 p.m. Sunday in Dixon Entrance, about 60 miles south of Ketchikan. The Coast Guard released video of the medical evacuation amid 20-mile-per-hour winds and three-foot seas on Monday.
The Coast Guard says the man was suffering “symptoms of heart problems.” The Air Station Sitka MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew reportedly flew the man to Ketchikan, where he was transferred to a private medevac plane bound for Bellingham, Washington. The Coast Guard did not release the man’s name or current condition.
