Some dude lost a very expensive Porshe Boxer on that boat.

Flotsam and jetsam are terms that describe two types of marine debris associated with vessels. Flotsam is defined as debris in the water that was not deliberately thrown overboard, often as a result from a shipwreck or accident. Jetsam describes debris that was deliberately thrown overboard by a crew of a ship in distress, most often to lighten the ship's load. The word flotsam derives from the French word floter, to float. Jetsam is a shortened word for jettison.
Under maritime law the distinction is important. Flotsam may be claimed by the original owner, whereas jetsam may be claimed as property of whoever discovers it. If the jetsam is valuable, the discoverer may collect proceeds received though the sale of the salvaged objects.

I didn’t think about that but it’s true. I used to work with those green batteries for army gear (Radios, etc.) We always shipped them separately per regulation!

I’m not sure that it’s feasible for automobiles, since the batteries are very integrated into the car’s body in many places..................

Yep...I’ve noticed this. Reason why I never bought a used car around this time.

Yes it is, if they’re connected to the circuitry they power! If you ever leave a car sitting for a long time, or transport on a truck/trailer always disconnect the battery!

Sadly there’s no water around to fight this blaze with.
Must be a Democrat in charge.
I know, I know, it’s not that simple.
Would seem to be simpler than they make it out to be.

That ship seems to be riding high in the water, meaning it doesn’t appear to be loaded much. I heard that Volkswagens float... until they completely burn.
