Oh...that doesn’t look good at all.

Too bad. I hope they can get it righted and repaired. It looks like a nice ship. The way the Wuhan is spreading around, it might be the last refuge...

It’s not that unusual for wooden ships to take on water, get pumped out and fixed.

I’ll bet that this isn’t the end for the old girl.

At least it ain’t taking a port lean.

The good news is that it has tipped to the “right”...

In NYC, with those old buildings that mysteriously burned to the ground when nobody was around . . . .

it was called "Jewish Lightning

Insurance even pays to haul off the debris and re-level the ground.

It ain't a slur ya chazer!

It’s hard to love a ship, they rot.

Officials at the center

Did the officials hire anyone to maintain the vessel and check it every day?

Either they didn't have someone on duty or the person on duty was negligent.

"Officials at the center" have to answer questions.

This shouldn't have happened.

For cultural enlightenment. This was the book that described vast devastating wild forest fires in the times before so called "Global Climate Change."

I saw it. You guys are cool too!

A floating classroom. Probably put off maintenance.

For want of a check valve...

For anyone wanting to read this, scroll way down to the start.   "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation" has a tremendous amount of boilerplate they put ahead of the book.

Going turtle does tend to put the keel most all the way up.
