I also spot 11 people on deck. that must be the entire ships company surely?

Wowee !! That must have been a sight - to see an empty canal. I wonder if they're are any photo's on the 'net. Must have a look.

It smashed through the lock gates at Irlam and hence drained the canal between Irlam and Barton locks.
This incident was a major contributing factor to the decline of the MSC.
Ships were stuck in Salford docks for about 6 weeks .

I voted a ten , and the jerk who voted the one cannot vote no more, unless he has access to another computer, but many can play that same game, I have access to another computer but won't stoop as low as some folks do and vote against the flow, its too bad the ones that vote a five or less, don't comment why they do.

Nice, but not to the jerk who gave it a 1.

Nice shot!

Nice shot! Why was it stuck there? (8)
