I guess you could call it a marin-error.
CarrotSharpener
Wake me up, before you ro-ro.
Tisbutafleshwound
Is anyone shocked that it is again a Carnival line
babelincoln27
All unfairness aside, that is a FAST capsize for that smaller boat to the right. Very scary..

Just me getting in the tub with my toys. Nothing to see here, move along.

Why do you wake me?
PMPB
As a SCUBA diver, you should see what their wake and anchors do to endangered coral.

JOB OPENING!

That'll buff right out...

Can't imagine being in one of those boats when that happened... Terrifying!

Wake up Italy (can't wake up), Wake up Italy (mayday)

I think they're gonna need bigger boats

Carnival cruise lines seem to be quite a shit show.

I read "destroyed a small Italian marinara" Damn Italians!!!

"Speed limits, shmeed limitsh!", captain, probably.
SergeantOldSchool
Ships should be under tug control while in port.

Someone's gonna get a stern talking to... I'll see myself out.

A messy marina? So now it's a Messina.

These look suspiciously like remote control boats. IE teeny tiny boats which don't contain real people..
ImHonestonhowIseethings
The big boat is going fairly slow at the start then the propeller speeds up so fast plus the vhs quality video/gif makes me think tiny boats
prestidigination
$250,000 dollars in damage...
supraman2turbo
Okay can we just agree Italian sea captains are horseshit at their jobs
gebsmith1
It's very unlikely that the captain is Italian.
rezpawner
Have been for centuries. There's a reason why the Mediterranean is full of wrecks. They never learn.
Seattlite
The Greeks aren't much better. I heard about this one guy who took 10 years to get from Troy to Ithaca by ship. It's not even that far.
TwatHammer
Had a similar event at work valeting. Pair of italians ended up wrecking their rig trying to load it on another rig and smashed the 1/3
TwatHammer
bottom of the rig on the ground and leaked the entire contents of its oil all over the road. It would also happen when we we're about 2/3
TwatHammer
to shut up shop for the night. Took a good few weeks to get rid of all that oil. And i mean it was an absolute fuckton of spilled oil.
howlofdeath2
You're responsible for your wake
CirB
Yep. Looks like an idiot of a captain on the cruise ship..
generalsplayingrisk
are you actually? so if someone puts a dingy near a large ship doc and it gets fucked, the ships are at fault?
waitbutactually
That's a marina, boats are supposed to be there.very visible. Ship's 100% at fault. Maybe the capt's, probably the pilot's mistake.
generalsplayingrisk
I was asking a hypothetical
CirB
Depends slightly on the rating of the area (no dinghies in area reserved for large ships), but in general this is the rule to follow.
whoisyourdaddy
Yes. There is a speed limit. The video above makes it clear as to why there is a speed limit.
TheyHunger
You got it mixed up; someone (harbormaster, most likely) put a Large ship near the dinghy dock.
generalsplayingrisk
I was asking a hypothetical
TheyHunger
Okay, in that case: It depends.
JeansAttack
Typically near docks there is a speed limit specifically to prevent wakes. Captain might have been responsible, not sure where this is.
NameNotFoundException
My best bet would be Messina, Sicily. Either that or those are some proper wakes.
docweird
There are speed limits, depending on the area. This is the "sea" over here:
- so yeah, they are needed: :D
TheFragnatic
Is that stockholms skärsgård or am I blind?
docweird
Nope, Turku, Finland. Ie. the other side... ;)
Kerberos623
Jupp.
PDXfishing
Looks like the cruise ship was a little off course and needed to correct with trottle. This falls on the harbor pilot...

Woot woot the REAL state of 10,000 lakes, not our shitty neighbor.

Uh oh, local conflict between two states that not everyone can properly identify. Details a 6.

I am from Wisconsin. Our shitty neighbor would be Minnesota. Their license plate says "land of 10,000 lakes" when Wisconsin has more. >>
0bzilla
I am from California, we have, if you can believe it, 49 shitty neighbors. It's the neighborhood I think.
StankyPankySammich
>>plus the packers, cheese and beer... We are just better. Basically Illinois, Sconnie and Minnesota don't like each other.

SamArt53
So, why don't you have your license plate say it, "More lakes than Minnesota". Rather than "America's Dairyland". It's no different 1/2
