Maybe the name was a clue?

From Wikipedia: " The [US Coast Guard icebreaker] Eastwind ran aground on 21 January 1964, which is likely the only time an American military ship ever ran aground inside an active volcano. The ship refloated with the rising tide."

Now that place would be well worth a visit IRL.
