What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On November 4, 2026, an extreme low tide destabilized an underwater slope in Skagway that was overburdened by construction fill for a railway dock and cruise ship wharf. The sudden collapse of 22 million cubic yards of sediment created local waves up to 30 feet high, pulling docks loose and snapping steel sheet piles.
