I have no clue why I favorited so many things I cannot currently relate to. It's like someone hacked my account and favorited a bunch of nonsense. But thar she blow, my 15th fav. Pretty cool pic I guess... I can only imagine his hands and suit after climbing back aboard. Can anyone explain the assembly he is on? One on each side? Below water it stands ship upright, but above water the weight keeps the ship from topping over?

That ship is beached. Thats its keel. It's to keep the force of the winds in the sails from turning the boat upside down.

The other one must be broken off? Hitman trying to keel the ship?

It still looks to be under sail, just heeled over.
