A salvage team is expected to arrive early next week at the scene of a cargo ship that was carrying about 3,000 vehicles to Mexico when it caught fire in waters off Alaska’s Aleutian island chain.

A cargo ship carrying more than 3,000 vehicles was still smoking Thursday, two days after a fire forced its 22 crew members to abandon ship off Alaska.

Midas caught fire Tuesday roughly 300 miles from Adak, Alaska. The ship was carrying thousands of vehicles when it erupted.
