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

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.

Cork? You said use a cork? I thought you said use a quark! No wonder I did not get a tight seal!

It has not “keeled” unless the keel is out of the water. The term is “keel over” which means that the keel is over top the vessel or the vessel is perhaps “turning turtle.”
