On August 15, 1989, 36-year-old Sandra Sandy Hvatum went down with the F/V Sequel, a 67-foot steel trawler that capsized and sank about two to three miles north of Story Island in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Kristen Hvatum and Russell Farrell were also on board; none of the three were recovered and they are all presumed drowned. An official report filed with the Alaska State Troopers on August 25, 1989, found the vessel became unstable after a transfer of ballast water and concluded that this directly caused the capsizing.

Sandra was described as a Caucasian female with blond or strawberry-colored hair, hazel eyes, several scars on her abdomen, a scar on an unknown knee, and a scar on her right ring finger. She was 5 feet 8 inches and about 200 pounds at the time.

The Sequel sinking is recorded as a maritime loss from 1989 and the victims have no known recovered remains. Does anyone have memories of the Sequel, its crew, or information that could help fill in the final movements aboard that day?
