A 230-foot long replica of Noah’s Ark collided with a Norwegian Coast Guard vessel as it arrived in Oslo, Norway on Friday, causing damage to both ships.

Media says the wooden replica, built by a Dutch carpenter Johan Huibers after he dreamed of a flood in his home town, was being towed into Oslo harbor when it somehow lost control and crashed into the moored patrol vessel Nornen.

It should have put the spuds down, and stayed there. Doesn’t look too graceful.

Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Helen Keller could have seen it coming an hour before it left the dock. Heh.

OMG, thank heavens there we no more unicorns on board.

I sailed right by this on in April when I was in the Netherlands.

I saw it in April. Did not know they planned to move it.

Weekly Digest ping topic, thought we needed to lighten up a little. I'll probably live to rue those words though...

I don’ think God spec’d vinyl siding as proper hull planking...

Could be worse; could have been stucco.

I see....
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,
You’re never gonna see no unicorn!
