The Coast Guard in Alaska medevaced a 55-year-old cruise passenger from the Seven Seas Mariner cruise ship approximately 25 miles southeast of Montague Island in the Gulf of Alaska on Wednesday.
Air Station Kodiak dispatched a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to the cruise ship after Air Station Anchorage received a request from the master of the Regent cruise ship indicating that the woman was suffering from internal bleeding. The Coast Guard helicopter aircrew flew to the ship and safely hoisted the woman and transported her to emergency medical services personnel in Anchorage.
