GIBSON ISLAND, Md. —
A container ship is reported to be stranded off the coast of Gibson Island in the Chesapeake Bay.
Marine Tracker lists the ship as the Ever Forward and that it is aground. It appears there are several tugboats out of Baltimore trying to assist.

Gibson Island is the deepest of deep state neighborhoods.
🤣
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that the ship was still there.
Oh say does that Evergreen banner yet wave
On its craft that ran aground cause the pilot’s a knave!
Those suckers are expensive.
Today's beaching is aimed at the naysayers that there is something threaded between all these dots.
If you don't think so now, perhaps next dot in the news. Or, perhaps never. The choice is yours.
I very much doubt this is the last we'll hear about Ever Forward.
The car carrier ship that got stranded and overturned off of Brunswick GA and Fernandina Beach FL in 2019 was the Golden Ray (Korean). It’s taken three years to remove it. They had to cut it in half and get the cars out, and then cut it in pieces which were then taken to New Orleans where there is apparently a huge junkyard for shipwrecks.
It took three years to remove the Golden Ray, the car carrier that was grounded off of Brunswick, GA which had a Korean captain and pilot. The US harbor pilot was the one who saved the channel, because he called for help and nudged the ship out of the channel even as it was tipping over.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had anything come into Brunswick/Fernandina (one of the biggest ports in the US) for three years.
A smart pilot, I don’t think he’s gotten the recognition that he should have. He know the harbor and the river and he knew that the priority was to save the shipping channel.
Way less often than they get stuck. And this only made LOCAL news.
Dude, the only dots you got are from your eyes. Stop rubbing them. Evergreen Marine is a big deal company in shipping. And they all their ships “Ever ____” cause corporations have egos.
Really, get some rest and get better meds. You sound like an idiot.
Missouri had traversed the shoal nearly 2,500 feet
Ouch !
Who is going to let Hillary know that dinner will be late?
So the sea salvage laws still work.
*****How often is a massive ship getting stuck in the news?*****
Just in Chesapeake Bay? Apparently more often than you think.

When your draft exceeds the depth of water, you are most assuredly aground.
Just wait until they start using EB’s. (Electric Boats)
Might get a bit crowded at the Bouy charging stations.

Many moons ago, we were motoring up the Delaware Bay on a windy day and looking behind us there was a container swinging in a 360 around the tug pulling it. And the delaware bay is far worse than the Chesapeake.
Guess so. I saw them cut up that huge ship and it was amazing. They used a chain hung between two barges to saw through the middle of the ship and dump the 4000 cars into the water where they could then be retrieved. This went on day and night…and was a real boost to the hotel industry during the shutdown, because they had to house hundreds of workers brought in for the job.
