    Default dreadful accident in Scotland,ship topples in dock

    Nobody else has mentioned it and it must have been an awful experience for those involved. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/mul...ce-2023-03-22/ Not something I have ever seen a mention of with the shape of ships tending to be flat bottomed.Somebody is going to have to understand what happened and how to clear up the mess.

    Somebody has some explaining to do.
    "Wind caused the accident". Not likely.
    I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

    It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.
