It's not been announced how it hit the shoal, which is marked on charts. The Port Royal draws 33 feet of water, and the shoal is 22 feet under water. The captain of the Port Royal was relieved, which is normal for a grounding such as this.WHAT?!?!?

You think he shouldn’t have been relieved?

Not "relieved" as in "Hey! That wasn't so bad!"
"Relieved" as in fired.
