As depicted in the movie Captain Phillips, what was the name of boat that was seized by pirates on April 8, 2009 and held for 4 days not far from Somalia?

The Maersk Alabama was the first successful pirate seizure of a U.S-registered ship since the early 19th century. It was the sixth shift during that same week that was attacked by pirates. The Alabama is still in service, though it's been renamed the MV Tygra and is no longer a Maersk ship.
