For those keeping a close eye on the latest "Deadliest Catch" season, it's apparent that The Saga hasn't featured as prominently as it once did. Here's what's going on with Captain Anderson's ship. Some fans questioned if Captain Jake Anderson's vessel finally sank, and others pondered whether or not it was merely being repaired for unknown reasons. All of this speculation was put to bed when it reemerged in the episode "Restricted Zone," which aired on May 25, , with its absence never fully explained.
Nevertheless, it has gone on to make a few more appearances to the delight of fans, once again putting its reputation as a rough and tough fishing boat on full display. To put it mildly, the legacy of The Saga is one riddled with near-tragedy and incredibly close calls. As explained by Distractify , the year old ship has become a never-ending restoration project for Anderson, seeing as it has nearly sunk on several occasions.
One particularly infamous instance of this came during the 19th episode of Season 16, "Rogue Wave Juggernaut," when The Saga's rudder began to fail. One of the show's deadliest tragedies was the sinking of the Scandies Rose , which killed five of its seven crew members. And while the Southern Wind did not appear to sink, there has been no word of its return to the series.
The Saga is easily one of the most difficult ships to maintain steadily on Deadliest Catch given its size, young captain, and old age of 42 years. When Jake bought the ship in , he began making several renovations to keep it afloat, but even then, Jake and the Saga frequently come face-to-face — or should we say bow-to-bow — with danger.
One of the most notable near-sinkings of the Saga was in Season 16, Episode 19, when Jake and the crew needed to repair the rudder in rowdy seas.
A rendering showed us how if the loose rudder fell out, the ship could flood or even sink. Not only that, but a loose rudder makes it more difficult to steer, so it was imperative to fix it, despite the dangers of doing so. Another major risk Jake had to take with the Saga was going through the False Pass strait with limited power. This strait is extremely difficult to navigate because of its shallow waters, and a very lifelike animation actually showed us how the Saga could very easily sink during the journey.
Luckily, Jake made it through the perilous strait, but who knows what future dangers the Saga could face in Season Deadliest Catch takes on dangerous, life-threatening situations, so any of the vessels featured on the show could be at risk of sinking at any moment, and the Saga is no exception.
Plus, according to a marine traffic report , the Saga last arrived at Dutch Harbor, its home port in Alaska, on April 13,
