Seems so strange to have a ship of that size on its side.

Interesting to look at all the detail though.

I've not heard anymore updates as to why it was beached in the first place . . . they said it was listing . . . It must've been pretty bad to decide ramming her into a sandbank was the best option !

They got it floated again today and towed it out to a safe zone to monitor it.

When I was diving I dived the Zenobia just outside Larnaca harbour in Cyprus. Similar sort of size, perhaps a bit smaller, but had 3 holds full of articulated lorries, cars and livestock carriers.

That had developed a problem with its automated computerised ballast system - it was still on its maiden journey from Sweden - and started listing like this shortly after leaving Larnaca harbour after being loaded - they managed to get it outside the harbour before it rolled over onto its side and sank in 30-40 meters of water. Diving the holds with 40 ton artics hanging - swaying - above your head on 25 year old axle chains that had been subjected to salt water for the same time is both eerie and slightly terrifying at the same time!

Sitting it on a sandbank would be a more financially sound route if the chance arises!
