Galveston woman already published book about Triumph Beaumont Enterprise Copyright 2013 Beaumont Enterprise. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Published 10:04 am, Tuesday, February 26, 2013 Christina Peaden brought a notebook and laptop on her family's vacation aboard the Carnival Triumph this month, hoping to keep a journal to remember the details of her time aboard with her husband and three daughters. The somewhat mundane, but detailed entries take a turn after an aft engine fire on the Carnival Triumph left the ship dead in the water, stranded in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico with a disabled propulsion system. Media reports over several days described the horrific details aboard with somewhat limited details, including the shortage of water, electricity and food. The 4,200 passengers and crew members spent days in the Gulf and eventually were taken by three tug boats to a port and were then flown by charter planes to Galveston. When Peaden returned home, read the media reports and saw the lawsuits springing from passengers complaining about their experiences, she was inspired to publish her journal to present what she says is a more honest point of view.
