While we were coming back by way of Drake's Passage we received news that a tourist vessel had
been grounded in/near Wilhelmina Bay. The was the MV Ushuaia, a different operator. The

following the Ushuaia's return to port at Possesion Bay.

Here is the IAATO original report permalink concerning the grounding.
