  In the morning, while the Pacmonarch lay at anchor, the crew began launching the port lifeboat for a run ashore. The lifeboat was of the davit launched, totally enclosed type and fitted with on-load release hooks. Four crew members boarded the lifeboat while two others on the ship removed the securing pins at the davits to prepare for the launch. Soon after the davits hit their stops and the lifeboat was about 15 m above the sea, the after hook separated from the after suspension ring of the falls. Suspended from the forward hook, the lifeboat swung almost vertical, at which point the forward hook opened. Completely free, the lifeboat fell stern first into the sea. Three of the four people in the lifeboat were fatally injured.
