But,
a) if she is sticking hard aground, the water depth there can not be more than 1 m deep (compare the ship's load line with the ship's actual waterline now;
b) how could she get there grounded, quite far from the shoreline, onto such a shalow bottom (abt 1m), even if she had NO BALLAST onboard what never happens to be a case of a sea going ship;
c)if she is hardly grounded now & on that spot, it would be a little chance that she is laying perfectly on her "even keel, longitudinally and transverse".
Therefore it seems, that this ship is floating & without any ballast what is further endangering the stability of this ship's remains.
Phil, your add opinion & comment would be highly appreciated.
Best regards/Jadran
