Didn’t anybody notice? No one had a cork? (It’s a shame, though!)

[poinq]

Rot. Bet it was a simple lack of maintenance.

[nascarnation]

Let me propound a theory...

the bilge pumps run off shore power when docked

PG&E had an outage...

[rktman]

Well there is an inspection forthcoming. Whereas and henceforth a determination will be acquired as to the severity of the keeling to starboard. No raising the mizzinmast’

"It was not immediately clear Sunday morning what caused the ship to sink. "

Maybe the hull sprang a leak and there were insufficient bilge pumps?

Just a wild guess.

[Afterguard]

Keeled to starboard = Heeled to starboard? Keeled isn’t a typical nautical term for tipping over...

Check the sea cocks!

[frank ballenger]

They tried to yell to Rosie O’Donnell and Jerry Nadler:
“No! Permission to come aboard is not granted!”

“It was not immediately clear Sunday morning what caused the ship to sink.”

Probably because water got inside...

All aboard the Failboat.

[smokingfrog]

oops!

[Osage Orange]

Well back in the day...that break they had there was know as "Killer Dana"...

Way before the harbor...

[Macoozie]

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!

Can anyone imagine taking that small ship around The Horn?

[yesthatjallen]

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."

[rockinqsranch]

A floating classroom. Probably put off maintenance.

[Falconspeed]

Sad to see it is sinking. Beautiful ship.
“...his classic book.” Classic book, for sure. Impressive story: Richard got off the ship in Boston to visit his parents and a fellow sailor went along. The sailor asked Richard, “Where do your parents live?” Richard said enough so that the sailor lead the way and found his parents’ house by using the stars in the sky alone.

“It was not immediately clear Sunday morning what caused the ship to sink.”

I’m gonna guess water got inside.
