What on Earth do you think caused This:

Because I really have no idea. :D

Perhaps this.. ;)
-
oooooo-ooo. :o
That looks expensive. It also looks like it will wash up on the beach around here soon.
Perhaps this.. ;)
Nah. That would have sunk it completely, while leaving the yacht unscathed, surely?
-
wonder if anyone was hurt. maybe she got a list and the weight caused the cables to break and when she was righted, the containers fell.
-
some more shots: http://unitedfreightglobal.com/news/?p=47
Reporst are conflicting, but they think it was caused by a combination of severe weather (typhoon) and possible bad lashing.
Fred
-
good find Fred :)
-
:)
Cheers!
-
ouhh that looks terrible, I hope no one was in any of the containers
-
I did notice that on the ship, it said it's name was Ital Florida. I do believe that means that it travels to italy and florida. Perhaps it was in the middle of a hurricane while in the vicinity of Florida. Just a guess ::).
-
Oh my god, that looks very expensive indeed - i thought a wave may of caused it - but it would have to be pretty damn big, and the containers are secured
EDIT Just researched the ship, she was travelling at 16kn in 10m waves :o

Another crazy Arie Visser rammed a vermaas during a multiplayer session ? :-)
Here are some pics of a damaged cargo, taken by the french navy during a storm, in atlantic, last winter :

The ITAL FLORIDA sails between the far east (hong kong I believe) and the Adriatic sea.
Fred
-
Looking at the photos, I would guess she was hit by high seas on the starboard quarter which crushed the lower tiers of containers. The rest would follow quite rapidly after that I should think. Just gravity at it's most destructive. The lashings probably would not be able to take that kind of strain if the ship was rolling heavily after the initial damage. each 20foot container would have a weight of over 20tonnes and the 40foot ones over 40tonnes.
Angus.
-
It seems to be incredibly good luck that the entire cargo didn't end up as flotsam (or jetsam)! It looks a pretty close thing.
-
for ur fust pick id say miby it was a realy fat seagull :L
-
you know I remember a picture from a realy old topic of the same ship that was being piolited by a captian who had it going full speed in a large storm. 8)

Fred
Ohh. Well then shouldent they name it the hong adriatic ;D?
-
Hehe... Well it is going to Italy, as the Adriatic is between Italy and the former Yugoslavian countries.
But it's just a name. The Sherpa doesn't actually go to the Nepalese highlands either... ;D
Fred
-
i think some one might be out of a job for all that damage
-
Ohh. Well then shouldent they name it the hong adriatic ;D?
Ital Flordia sounds better I guess. :)
-
Some one should seriously make a demotivator for that :P
EDIT: Made a custom one ;D
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d89/YOSHINUT/EpicFailure.jpg)
(Please remember not to take this seriously)
-
After 22 posts all I can tell you is that I wouldn't want to be in one of those containers waiting to arive on my long lost brothers front doorstep just to jump out with all of my friends that I met at a small airport on Nantucket and yell "Surprise"... when that happened. :D
What's the matter, no one has ever seen that episode of "Wings". ;)
-
Ital Flordia sounds better I guess. :)
Then it should be going to florida..... and Italy ;D.
-
It might still be doing that, although it's far fetched. Because..
There are many more Florida's than just the State of Florida in the USA, you know.. ;)
It's a province in Bolivia, a city in Brasil, a town in Argentinia, a township in Chili, a town in Colombia, a region in Honduras, a town in Puerto Rico, a town in Uruguay aswell as a department of Uruguay, not to mention towns in the States of Massachusetts, Missouri, New York and Ohio. Also there is an island group named the Florida islands in the Salomons Islands and a lot more.. ;D
So perhaps there's a Florida near it's current destination in the Far East aswell.... Or maybe they just thought it sounded nice. ;D

Beached wale ;D!
I would assume that the tide went down and the ship stayed where it was docked.

That was up in alaska, it was actually in the middle of the day but the photo was taken during low tide. Tugs assisted in re-entering the craft in water and inspected the hull, no damage was done.
-
I know who did it...
Look at the Left of the Stern.
Hahahahaha, you can't prove it was me....you can't prove anything......MWHAHAHAHAAH......ok it was me ::) ::) there i admit it! have your laugh! LOL :D ;D :D
Jack.
-
And that laugh was long. 5 min i think :D it was me taken the picture when you did drive(In Jacks wordlist: Destroy)
I knew it was happend. and i neeed to take a picture of it. Happy Now ;D

New custom motivator for new pic!
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d89/YOSHINUT/LackofSkill.jpg)
-
how the hell did someone manage that
-
well the tide duznt go out and in at the same time each day usaly low tide is about 3mins after the day befor so low tide can be at 3:00 one day and 3.03 the next but thair are 2 low tides in 24 hours. so the captan of this ship could have looked at the tidel chart of the week befor by acadent then could have lefft the boat to come back and finde out that he has no water lefft under his boat. very easy thing to do if ur in a rush .
-
If those tide times are correct, he must be on a different planet to the rest of us, Chris. ;D
-
im shoor its 3mins il have to check and get back will do so in about 10mins playing ps3 cod4 right now
-
Most places have two tides per day (almost) and each high tide is around 30-40 minutes later than the one before.
The moon causes the tides.
The moon goes around the earth once every 28 and a quarter days (roughly). ;)
-
http://www.pol.ac.uk/ntslf/tides/?port=0049
thats the chats for my town but it a depends on were u are in the world. like in malta the tide niver moves more than 3 meaters in a week thay dont have such a thing as a low and high tide

Hello,
But the grounding happened near Russell Island, at least as it is at Tarr Inlet (85nm NW of Juneau), so that Terry must know precisely..? 8)

Is that where I left my boat? Doh!
Now you know where I really live....
From the Northern Pacific, go into the Alexander Archipelago (between Yacobi Island and Inian Islands), past Lemesurier Island and then hard to port, and up past Young Island and Strawberry Island. Keep going Northwards past Willoughby Island, the NW past Drake Island. About 45 miles further on, you'll find my Island just before the entrance to Tarr Inlet.
Drop in for coffee anytime you're passing! Call first in case we're out.

You should be more carefull where you leave your 15 million+ yacht mister Russell ;D.
Perhaps I will drop by someday. I thought that you might have suggested tea and crumpets ;D. I do love tea ;D.

Well, when you have so many of them, it's easy to loose track. ;D
Another American who likes tea? My wife (the Jersey Girl) drinks tea, while I (the Brit) drink only coffee. Really confuses people when we order tea and coffee...
-
Tea ;D I am also anouther american who likes tea. :D
-
I am not very fond of the stuff, which may seem strange from a marmite eater... You might think I'd eat or drink absolutely anything.
-
im serprized after eating marmite you can still taste anythings
-
I have heard that Marmite is actually a medicine..
It cures a wide range of things...
Like headaches, broken bones, PMS, athlete's foot, ulcers, gastritis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, shell shock, pink eye, a series of psychological disorders and of course dyslexia.. ::)
And the only drawback is that it tastes like licking a cat's bum.. that's not too bad, I reckon... ;D
Brovil, anyone?

Sideaffects of Marmite
Marmite may cause craziess. If use is prolonged you may end up in a padded cell. :D
Terry are you sure your not in a padded cell. The label says you should be.
-

So, Fred; please tell me:
To make this comparison,
(a) how many jars of marmite have you consumed?
(b) How many cat's bums have you licked?
;D
-
Well Terry, to answer one part of that question, I would have to divulge information about my research that is only divulged on a need to know basis...
And since answering the other part would reveal which part is the part that would not be answered since the answer is considered to be top secret, I therefor cannot answer the other part either..
But it wasn't pretty... no Sir.. not pretty at all...
And that's all I care.. and dare.. to say... ;D
Fred
-
I shudder at the thought of the hour's of research that went into this
as for the 2 part of the test the eyes water at the thought :o
sad gerianium

Apparently, there are lots of cats in Holland with strange smiles on their faces, though... :o

Sigh... me and my big mouth.. ::)

or this one
-
Well who goes and touches a sign anyway ;D ::)?
-
you have not met my mate he cut himself on one once
-
How? He cut himself by touching it? Thats like saying you got electricuted by an electric fence ;D. They should make electric signs ;D.
-
he ran past it a nicked himself on a sharp point
-
Ohh, ouch time :'(. How bad was it? What did the sign say ;D :P?
-
i SAW A PIC OF THAT SHARP EDGES SIGN WHERE IT SAID BELOW THAT< "aLSO< THE BRIDGE IS OUT AHEAD" IN MUCH SMALLER FONT ;D
-
I guess they want people to drive off the bridge ;D :D :P ::).
-
Found the pic! ;D

-
health and safty gone mad
-
Well, how are people supposed to notice that?! ;D.

The guy you just quoted started it.

Do you really think I took the time to look. ;)
-
I did. ;D
How hard is it too look? ;D
-
You must be kidding! :(
Thats exactly 24 seconds that I don't have later. :D
-
Well, think of it this way, you are going to be living more than a million hours. I think wasting 24 seconds is reasonable ;D.
-
My School Headmaster always said "If you loose a second, you can never get it back". That's probably why I try to do so much. ;D
-
Well, don't overwork yourself ;D. Did you know that people with more to do in their lives have more stress, which can lead to depression :(. So I mean it when I say don't overwork yourself ;).
-
Stress is different things to different people. For me, it is incredibly stressful to not do much. Boredom is deadly. Lots going on is fun.
-
Well, it is also confirmed that the harder you work, the harder your body is working, so that is not good for an old person. I am not saying you are ;D, but when you get to be old, play a board game or play cricket. How do you play cricket ????
I never get bored ;D, Ever ever ever. I can't remember the last time I got bored :D. I can be occupied with pretty much anything that is givin to me. When I am having fun, must people whould never think what I am doing is fun ;D.
-
My School Headmaster always said "If you loose a second, you can never get it back". That's probably why I try to do so much. ;D
Thats true, very true........unfortunately somebody i know who has just passed away would have loved another second in his life, but there we go :-\ life can be harsh, so, take every moment you have in your life seriously, and make the most of every second you have. You only life once.

I am old from your viewpoint. 54. But, most people have trouble keeping up with me. I believe differently. I have noticed that when people retire they sometimes start to relax and rapidly become dead. My belief is that as long as I keep going and doing things that I find hard, I'll be able to do them.
A couple of years ago, I had a bad reaction to some treatment for an old injury. (Found out I'm allergic to aspirin). The upshot of it was that it damaged my heart quite badly. I was being told to "take things easy" and so on. But on the second day, I got up out of the hospital bed and walked around the outside of the hospital. Did about a mile. Six weeks later, I went on a 12 mile charity walk and raised two thousand pounds for a cancer charity. Now, no-one would know I have a damaged heart. My specialist says he's never know anyone recover so fast or so well. And I have Type I diabetes, which makes it even more incredible.
So, don't relax. Keep pushing harder and do things that you think you can't!
-
Wow, what a story :). I don't think that work is the answer for me. I have fun with whatever I do, whether it be sleeping, or walking, or waiting, I have lots of fun :D. I am like the slowskies on that comcast commericial ;D.
-
What makes you think it's not fun? I only do what I enjoy.
PS Don't see the Comcast commercial over here. But I get the idea, I think.
-
Well, most people don't think sleeping or walking is fun.
The comcast commercial with the slowskies: The commercial is about 2 turtles who's family name is the slowskies. They enjoy having DSL because you have to wait so long for DSL connection. They do not like the high speed internet comcast offers. Get it now :P ;D?

I figured it was something like that.

My cat thinks sleeping is fun. But then she thinks marmite tastes like licking Mad_Fred. ;)
-
Glad you get it now ;D.
Don't all cats think sleeping is fun :P ::). Don't forget, cats are nocturnal, so that explains why they sleep in the day time ;).

Hey Guy's I got one on tides for you.
Well... :D
(http://www.solarnavigator.net/images/monohull_sailing_boat_beached_langley.jpg)
-
People with sailing boats often do that so they can scrape the barnacles off the bottom. Mind you, that one looks like it needs a good antifoul as well, unless they're in the middle of that when this was taken.
-
The first thing I thought was that those pilings shouldn't even be there but now that you mention it, :-\
It's remotely smart, if you have a strong keel. ;)
-
I guess that if the keel won't take that weight, you have a keel that's likely to fall off! I've seen that happen once. Following a fairly shabby sailing boat into Yarmouth (Isle of Wight, near Cowes), and suddenly it rolled over. Strangely, the underside (now the top-side) was smooth!
It stopped straight away as the mast stuck in the mud. Nobody was injured, but they did look surprised. We picked them out of the water and anything we could see floating, but goodness knows what went to the bottom.
Strangest Mayday Relay I've ever sent.
-
Did they get it upright?
-
Not as far as I know. I think "matchwood" was the outcome. It was very old.
Usually, if the keel bolts drop out of wooden sailing ship, it indicates that the timbers are rotten.
