MAERSK ALABAMA
N scale remote control container ship
model
The
Maersk Alabama was hijacked 240 nautical miles (280
mi) of Somalia and rescued by the U.S. Navy on 12
April 2009. It was the first successful pirate
seizure of a ship registered under the American flag
since the early 19th century.
The incident was reported in the
book A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs,
and Dangerous Days at Sea
(2010) by Stephan Talty and Captain Richard
Phillips. The hijacking also inspired the 2013
film Captain Phillips, with Tom Hanks playing the
role.
This 38"
