Editing MV Aurora (2000) (section)

===''Pamela Dream'' rescue effort===

In March 2001, ''Aurora'' was sailing through the [[Taiwan Strait]] on her first world cruise when she was called to assist ''Pamela Dream'', a [[Cambodia]]n registered ship crewed by Russian officers and crew which had capsized in rough seas. ''Aurora'' launched her fast rescue boats to retrieve survivors from the water. The crew were able to retrieve three survivors. A crewmember described the sea state as "very rough, with waves of about {{convert|5|m|ft|abbr=on}}". One of ''Aurora''{{'}}s propellers was damaged by [[Flotsam and jetsam|flotsam]], an inspection of the propeller was carried out in [[Singapore]] where it was polished by divers. The damaged propeller was eventually replaced in dry dock in Southampton in December 2002.<ref name='BBC 2001-03-09'>{{cite news | first = Damian | last = Grammaticas | title = UK cruise ship in sea rescue | date = 9 March 2001 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1211846.stm | work = BBC News|access-date = 28 December 2010}}</ref><ref name='Daily News'>{{cite news | first = Helen | last = Luk | title = Russian ship capsizes; six dead | date = 9 March 2001 | url = https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=B_0cAAAAIBAJ&pg=5365,1009137&dq=aurora+cruise+ship | work = Daily News | pages = 8A | access-date = 28 December 2010}}</ref>
