A popular, full-day excursion to Blue Lagoon Island, from a cruise ship docked in Nassau in the Bahamas, ended in tragedy on Tuesday when a ferry boat loaded with 100 passengers rolled over and sank in choppy waters. A 75-year-old American woman from Colorado died in the partial capsize.

The NY Post reports that the ferry was nearing its destination when conditions on the water began to deteriorate.

“One of the crewmembers who was downstairs ran upstairs and was crying, absolutely bawling, and grabbing a life jacket. That’s when everybody was like … this is real, something’s happening,” American tourist Kelly Schissel said in a TikTok.
