    On an Austrian lake...

    A newsclip from an Austrian newspaper on a small accident of a dutch guy on an Austrian lake...

    "On Sunday, a boat on the Wörthersee involuntarily parked on a jetty. The man from the Netherlands parked the boat at Klagenfurt East Bay via the stairs on the jetty as the ORF Carinthia reported Sunday. No one was injured, the damage is estimated at 100,000 €. The boat is owned by locals. He had asked the tourists after a long party drive him home to Krumpendorf. The Dutchman might have dodged a buoy and then took the stairs on the jetty.

    Hi,

    The one with it sitting just below the surface in absolutely calm waters has been doing the rounds on Facebook etc for a few months. I thought it was a fake and even had Carl take a look at it too, everything is just too still.

    I looked at the Russian Blog and would now say at least some of them are the real deal or there is a PShop fanatic with way too much time and skill on their hands that they even showed the fuel slick on the ice as it sinks.

    This article explains how the barges were off loaded so I assume they were loaded in China by doing somewhat the same process in reverse.

    http://www.mammoet.com/Global/Global%20news%20item%20pictures/International%20Cranes%20May%202012%20Mammoet%20Article.pdf

    "In order to carry the barges, a specially designed set of cradles was added to the Blue Marlin. The barges were stacked up and then floated on the ship a few at a time."

    The aggressor is Mystere Shadow. Saw it yesterday at its usual berth under the 17th Street Causeway. Not sure on the victim. Maybe a Richmond?
