The ship's 22-person crew escaped the 600-foot vessel unharmed, but firefighters couldn't get the blaze under control, and the Morning Midas sank with 3,048 vehicles onboard.

Three weeks after a fire broke out on the ship off the coast of Alaska, the Morning Midas sank, along with thousands of cars on board.

A massive cargo ship carrying an estimated 3,000 vehicles capsized in international waters this week, causing it to sink, according to the US Coast Guard.
