The Malaysian cargo ship Selendang Ayu drifts toward Unalaska Island near Unalaska, Alaska, in the Aleutian Island chain, Dec. 8, 2004, in this photo released by Unalaska Community Broadcasting. A Coast Guard cutter and three tug boats were unable to halt the 738-foot freighter's approach to shore, and the ship later ran aground and split apart.
