Skagway Alaska Landslide 2024 News. Friday's rock slide damaged a container that officials had put in place to act as a tunnel to protect cruise ship passengers from falling rocks. An early morning rockslide in skagway at the cruise ship dock rained down massive boulders onto the dock that just minutes later would have been filled with.
Skagway is upgrading the ore dock to be able to except large ships starting in 2024. Following a number of rockslides at the port area in skagway last year, work has been progressing on mitigation efforts to curb the landslides and keep the port, employees, and cruise.
