Noah’s Ark Crashes Into Coast Guard Vessel

[essentialsaltes]

A 230-foot long replica of Noah’s Ark collided with a Norwegian Coast Guard vessel as it arrived in Oslo, Norway on Friday, causing damage to both ships.

Media says the wooden replica, built by a Dutch carpenter Johan Huibers after he dreamed of a flood in his home town, was being towed into Oslo harbor when it somehow lost control and crashed into the moored patrol vessel Nornen.

Media reports said there were no animals on board when the collision occurred.

Well, I am glad to hear no livestock were injured.

Yeah. The Coast Guard could have helped someone in distress. Now they're down a ship.

I know. That's what makes it so sad.

And that Noah's Ark replica could have preserved the entire animal kingdom from global catastrophe!

I think that outweighs a silly little coast guard ship.

Good thing it wasn't a full size replica. That would have really done some damage.

Perhaps the flood he dreamed was in the hold of the ship he built?

The tweets at the bottom of that article are a must read.

Vindicated.
I told everyone it was seaworthy and wouldn't sink, but nobody believed me.

Because it's mounted on a barge.

I can't hear you over the sound of my own bias!

If it was an exact replica then the Coast Guard is at fault because the ark had no navigation. That means it automatically had the right of way and it's up to boats under power to stay away from it.

It was mounted on a barge and being pushed/pulled into the dock. The coast guard boat was moored.

ETA: watching the video, I can't really see what is pushing/pulling it. The view may be obscured or maybe the barge has some maneuvering engines or something. There's at least one tug pulling, a second tug may be hidden behind the ark

Silly waste of time and effort, typical to Dutch Christians..

Then the captain of the tugboat was liable.
