larika . Tad premature. By the way I like Benzigers graphic. incidentally there was a similar case several years ago when an Aircraft Carrier suffered a similar accident again due to strong cross winds. That as solved by manpower using the capstans on board and ground anchors on the banks.

What was premature? The Washington Post memes? or the fact that the ship has been freed?

It wasn’t free at the time you posted 8 hours ago.
Peter Berdowski, CEO of Dutch salvage company Boskalis, said the Ever Given had been refloated at 15:05 (13:05 GMT) on Monday, "thereby making free passage through the Suez Canal possible again".

My husband said he'd just heard it on the hews so I went to google and the site I gave above came up. It said the boat was free.

Ken Apparently the earlier announcement that the ship had been freed was incorrect. They "jumped the gun" and made the announcement. We listened to Peter Berdowski, CEO of Dutch salvage company Boskalis. I simply posted what was on google.

The Suez Canal was opened in 1869 and Cyprus became a British protectorate in 1878. After the Suez Crisis in 1956 it became, in the 1960s, the UK’s last strategic asset in the eastern Mediterranean.  The new Suez Canal depicted in 1870 as uniting the Mediterranean and the Red Sea |
