Staying Regular

The next high tide is about 6 hours from now. There is about a 1.5m difference between high and low, so not a lot.

This has got to be a top 5 song of all time, any genre.

When aliens visit and ask for a historical account of the human race, just play this song.

New Brunswickers and Nova Scotians: "1.5m difference? Well that can't be right!"

On that shipping map posted earlier, I wondered what the typical backlog is on the Panama Canal and was greeted with a city named Colón on its north side. Imagine the if this ship impacted itself there?

Well they wouldn’t have if Australia was more on the ball.

Yeah, but in 1941 they could!

So, high tide has come and gone, and it still looks like it is there. Fission Mailed?

The captain was being knotty and displaying some in decent sea there.

Locals were wondering what all the fuss was aboat.

I'm positive schooner or later it'll get free.

what I dont understand is why they havent used high pressure hoses to flush away the sand, it has to be quicker than using a digger

They’re used massive dredges to move 100s of thousands of cubic meters of sand. They basically auctions the sand out with water.

[Sluggo]

If you ever been to the beach and tried to dig a hole into waterlogged sand you will appreciate how much you need to move in order to get a little bit deeper. Just for scale this ship is 26 containers long (a picture posted showed one jackknifed c-can trailer blocking 4 lanes of traffic) 10 trailers wide and 12-20 trailers deep. And to compound this the ship has taken on water so the superstructure has been weakened so the whole thing can collapse like a deck of cards and create even more of a cleanup if the dredging is unbalanced. Here is a link of how they got the sunk then grounded ships out of Pearl Harbor:



Tldr; they did not finish until 1944.
