Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper proudly announced discovery of one of Captain John Franklin’s ships, either the Erebus or Terror...

...John Franklin was an example of an English naval officer looking for trips to build a reputation in peacetime, but with more ambition than most...He was incompetent, as most of his actions demonstrated and many died because of his decisions...

...So much of history is people dying because of hair-brained, ill planned, self-serving schemes by incompetent people. All 129 people, including Franklin, died as well as some searching for them. Despite the debacle, the government created an image of Franklin as a great hero. They did the opposite to John Rae, a man who discovered what happened, was a great leader, and contributed much to science and humanity...

A little oakum and some fresh cloth and she's good as new!

Maybe some southern pine, too. That English oak just doesn't wear well.

Well, some touch-up paint, maybe.

A football field is 120 yards long. 2 End Zones of 10 yards each. Then the 100-yard playing field.

Picky, picky, picky.... 8)

As someone who has been on Tumblr and various imageboards and forums, I expected to find a very different form of ship on this thread.

But this works. I can live with this.

Here's one that'll be making the rounds:

http://gcaptain.com/containerships-collide-suez-canal/

There's a 5-minute video on the website. It's difficult to believe there wasn't more damage. The pilot or master of the Hapag-Lloyd vessel Colombo Express is going to have an awful lot of explaining to do.

If you ever get the chance to go on board her, I recommend it. Highly.
