One would think with all the navigation electronics available today this could be avoided . . . unless you're simply too intoxicated or high I suppose.

I always wondered what it was like at the helm. Love this view. Guess they hafta start evasive maneuvers a long way off.

Cool shot of the bridge, Ray... Looks like they're about to run aground.

Have you ever heard of "Cargo cults". Ignorant people where some cargo from wrecked ships has washed ashore think it's a gift from the gods. Some even started up a religion praying for more goodies to arrive from the sea.
