Named as engineer Joseph Terrado and wiper Wawan Gusnawan by a maritime lawyer, the two were killed by an explosion on board the Nieuw Amsterdam ship at around 9am Friday.
The two crew on the Florida-based Nieuw Amsterdam died Friday during an "accidental steam release" while it was calling at the private resort island Half Moon.
Two Holland America employees who died in a cruise ship’s engineering space were allegedly boiled in a steam explosion – and the captain reportedly cried when he announced the tragedy to the passengers.
The 2,100-seat Nieuw Amsterdam had docked at Half Moon Bay when the incident took place in what the company described as an engineering space on Friday.
