  1. And even the Brits did more work to it than the Egyptians did, but spread that ignorance far and wide.

  2. What does the captain have to do with anything? While in the canal the canal pilot has command.

  3.  @peashootz9917  Except Mazepin is a woman and the joke has been that "a woman crashed this ship". She was not in control of her vessel, the pilot was.

  4.  @Boyct23  The company is called Evergreen, hence the enormous 20m long letters on the side. The name on the side is always the company name, the smaller writing on the bow and the stern is the name of the actual ship. Some of us have spent a week trying to teach that to people. If the name of the ship was in massive letters on the side that would mean that 1 in every 4 container ships must be called "MAERSK", but common sense gets rarer every year and some people just don't seem to have it anymore.

  5. They can't keep up, as soon as they have it 52ft deep the new normal becomes 55ft draft, dredging harbours and canals is a perpetual job.

  6. *Ever Given. The Evergreen is a shipping company.
