A 440-foot-long cargo ship apparently failed to make its turn after entering Trondheim fjord, ending up in the garden of a water-front resident, but incredibly beached without waking the sleeping householder.
The NCL Salten, a Norwegian-operated container ship capable of carrying 886 twenty foot containers (or the equivalent thereof) ran aground in the early hours of Thursday morning after it had entered the Trondheim fjord. The ship had sailed from Averøy on Bremsnesfjorden on Norway’s Atlantic coast the previous day on coastal trade.
The Salten may be relatively small by container ship standards — the largest carry the equivalent of over 24,000 twenty foot containers — but it dwarfed its new neighbour after coming to rest on the shore. After failing to make its turn, and Norwegian police say they are investigating whether this was technical malfunction or human error, the ship ended up directly alongside a small water-front home.

Some folks build their home out of shipping containers.

“Sarah Russell, (a biological woman) who identifies as transgender and goes by they/them pronouns, was promoted to the CEMA leadership position in 2022”
Maybe he/she/it was promoted to captain of this ship.
So is the ship his salvage now?
Finders keepers?
Looks like someone was trying to ford the pines.

Maybe filming the latest Allstate Mayhem commercial; “Turn left NOW!”.
To take a leik.
(Just funnin'....I do not think you could do this unless the captain and crew had abandoned the vessel, which I doubt they did. He could try it anyway just for the fun of it!)
He should get salvage rights.
