Kirk Pride was a cargo ship that operated in the Cayman Islands from 1947 to 1976. In January 1976, an approaching storm prompted authorities to move the ship to a different harbor. However, her engines malfunctioned and would not turn off when they were supposed to. As a result, the ship was unable to stop in time before it struck the wall of the reef. The resulting breach in the hull led authorities to strive for days to keep her afloat, until the attempts failed and the ship was abandoned. Kirk Pride was abandoned when she sank, so there was no loss of life in the sinking.
