Amassing ! Wonder what sort of bottom she had, as well as what tipped her?

US Research ship topples over in Leith Drydock
Multiple injuries after ship tips over at Edinburgh dockyard
Twenty three people were treated to hospital and another 12 at the scene of the incident in Leith.

3000 ton ship, but look at the top hamper. 21 in hospital.
The lawyers will be on the next available flight to get as much compensation from the contractor as they can.
How badly are you injured? I don't know until I have spoken to my lawyer.
All steel furniture, sharp edges, no carpets being a US vessel.
I see they didn't have to join the queue for an ambulance or a hospital appointment.
The HSE are not getting into a panic about yet.
Local councillor said, 'It would have been a terrifying experience for those on board' - how would he know.
Ships go over at 45 degrees all the time in heavy weather, but usually flip back to 45 degrees the other way.
How come a similar size of ship didn't go over next to it?
Large boat, large ship, no just a small ship.
See she is Sbd side to for a change. Considering the amount of side stays (if that is the correct term) that line the ships side and the drydock and the the stays along the bilge keels in the bottom of the drydock when they drydock a vessel it must have been a heck of a gust. It had been very windy last night and forcast 41 mph in the south.
They will have to flood the dock again to right her I assume and use tugs to ease her over.
Come on you salvage chaps, how would you do it?
I assume HMS Prince of Wales is in drydock, is she ok, didn't fall over? Apart from misaligned tail shaft. Oops. And we are picking up the bill on that one, not the shipyard. Twas ever thus.
Somebody promoted beyond his competence no doubt.🤬
Now she is a big ship and probably carries several big boats.

In my book if she was chocked off correctly (having had due regard to her top heavy features) she should not have gone over.
One for the legal mafiosi I suspect.

The submersible which would be quite weighty may have been moved for work on it, though you would think that would have been removed pre drydock.
She is listing right way for the SW wind force to have an effect.
Maybe the Chief Steward took his wallet ashore that morning.
No doubt the OM's pre breakfast livener was shaken but not stirred.
There won't be a usuable glass left in the bar.
Is that called the 'Angle of Loll'? In the Naval Arch definition.

No chocks in the drydock bottom or hanging from the ships side apart from those two fwd. Perhaps they were removed for painting, though they usually reposition after painting and catch the area behind them later once its dried.
The props don't look as if they had been polished either, so not quite finished yet.

Sincerely hope that the man rider basket was not occupied at the time although the paint scuttle spillage may suggest otherwise.

Good honest commentary.
Current Port of Registry (IOM ?) does not coincide with that on her stern. Anyone confirm what that is?

when the vessel was taken over from SUBSEA IN 2016 the vessel was registered in Luxembourg and this was changed to IOM along with the classification society.Good honest commentary.
