    Looks like she has water on deck for weighing anchor. Had she dragged anchor before founding ? Probably rang (buzzed) for an engine movement and received the dreaded phone call from the Engine Room to say “Can’t do that right now” or to say what the sea temperature was. Just saying …

    Here is me thinking that at last John has come up with a good Quiz! (No wonder its not in that Section LOL) Its a puzzle then, and a good one to keep for the searching that we (Most ) do.
    So wonder if someone will come up with the Money!??

    Cheers

    I think it could be either in the westerschelde or in south Africa as a result of the Benguela current.

    She looks like the m.v. BSLE SUNRISE,Panamanian flagged,built Japan in 1992. Grounded at Anchor (dragged anchor)off Valencia,Spain during storm in September 2012. Another ship at the same time was the m.v. CELIA


    "The 118 meter long, 8250 dwt container ship Celia and the 9742 dwt freighter BSLE Sunrise went aground near Valencia, Spain. Both vessels had been at anchor when a strong storm struck causing the anchors to drag until both ships were on the beach. No reports of damage, injuries or pollution released. Several tugs were on scene to pull the vessels off the beach. Reports state initial attempts to refloat the vessels were unsuccessful."
