Ships Going Bump
What’s been keeping me so busy these past few days? The past couple of 20-hour workdays have been spent investigating exactly how THIS happened.

What is that stuck in that ship’s hull?
Oh– Jeff– I had wanted to e-mail you with something but I can’t just click on your address. One ofmy kids did something strange to my computer so when I click on the address, I get a yahoo messanger window that comes up in place of my Outlook.

The damage to the top and bottom of the bow appears to be more or less in line with each other, suggesting that the ship was in contact with a vertical, and not curved, surface. If I had to speculate, I’d say low-speed allision (contact with a fixed, stationary object).
Is there a prize for guessing correctly?

Scott, No. No one was injured. At least no one has mentioned anything to us yet.
KCD, Where do you see something sticking out of the hull?
Plunge & Tony, the pictures don\’t show the lateral scratching around the damaged portions, but there is some scratching. The vessel did, in fact, come into contact with a curved surface. That curved surface being the side of another ship at a collision angle of about 80 degrees.
Adam, come on down! you\’re the next contestant on the Price is Right!

jeff please post more, i look forward to reading your blog, like i wait at the mail box for my favorite magazine. but i think next time why dont you talk more about how much u love QOrea and how YUMNMMY NUMMY kimbab is. (kimbab is just like sushi, infact its better, exept it doesnt have fresh fish or use vinagar) but KIMBAP is BETTER right jeff. If japan had not invaded Qorea agenst her will then people would be eating KIMBAB around the world. Right Jeff. isnt KIMBAB YUMMY jeff. why is the usa and japan trying to keep KIMBAP and try to steal QOrean histoy and its invention of KIMBAP.
HEy jeff, why dont u write about KIMBAP more. Ok Jeff see u later.
