Hmmm.... seems I remember hearing about another possible meteorite hitting a
boat and bouncing out up in Alaska too.

The Alaskan meteorites Hope Creek and Aggie Creek were found in creeks of
those names by prospectors dredging for gold. Also I believe that the Cold
Bay pallasite (also Alaskan) was found on the beach. I believe that covers
all known Alaskan meteorites!
