Wow! That is insane.

Good to see you back, Drebbel.

Those look like they have been tossed around like a bunch of bathtub toys.

One thing I kind of thought interesting in my own weird way was that even though the ship in the sixth photo doesn't look that big it still dwarfs the excavator sitting next to it. That excavator doesn't look like a small one, either. I'm thinking it may be around 20-30 tons.

Are those whaling ships?

Good grief, can you imagine the work it's going to take to repair and clean up everything? That's devastating.

One can certainly hope so.

In all seriousness though that is quite incredible, and like Neal says, it's going to take ages to clear them off, I imagine most will be write-offs as their keels will have been weakened too much to use again.

If the ships in question aren't too far from the water, and if the external hull damage is minimal, it might be more cost-effective to dredge a channel to the ship and refloat it.

Brings a whole new meaning to the driving term of 'drifting'.

Some serious examples of the power mother nature can unleash at times.
