Scanned from an old 35mms. photo. Sorry for the quality...
At Caripito, Venezuela...and no..., the photo it´s not in casualties category,... tankers just run aground against the mud and mangroves to turn 180 deg. with the help of the river current ( Rio San Juan ). Maneuver exactly at the moment of H.Tide changing to L.Tide. Usual and normal maneuver before docking at Caripito Oil Terminal.
