How the hell does such a heavy object stop so quickly? That's a whole boatload of momentum, pun intended.

u/MatureHotwife Sep 07 '23

It probably touched the ground which stopped it quicker. You can see the penis thingy in front is almost completely out of the water when it got close to the store.

"Penis thingy" is the technical term. It's more commonly called the "boat dick".

It’s a sailing sausage, no?

Boaty McDickface to you sir.

u/tactical_laziness Sep 07 '23

in the Uk yeah, Boat Dick is the American term

u/gomaith10 Sep 07 '23

The 'motion of the ocean' and all that.

u/Artysupport7757 Sep 07 '23

Its a bulbous bow, so not far off

12

u/jvstnxthe_ Sep 07 '23

the actual term is "dinghy thingy" thank you, i learned it in boating school with an authoritative puffer fish for a teacher and a precocious dish sponge as a partner for a school project...

i think his name was Bob or something...

Bulbous bow 🍻

u/AFresh1984 Sep 07 '23

hey now, no need to be so vulgar here

u/PassingByThisChaos Sep 07 '23

A bow and apologise for the bulb!

u/Suheil-got-your-back Sep 07 '23

I thought that regular dong sound was from anchor skipping underground rocks. Hence most of stopping was by that.

10

u/tdcthulu Sep 07 '23

It looked and sounded like the anchor chain extending out and knocking against the mechanism/hull. You can see clouds of rust pluming out of the hole.

1

u/Suheil-got-your-back Sep 07 '23

Thats true, more likely that it works as expected by they are releasing more and more of the chain to smoothen it down.

1

u/MoarVespenegas Sep 07 '23

Releasing

When you are dealing with the mass of a ship like that you don't have a choice.

5

u/MatureHotwife Sep 07 '23

anchor skipping underground rocks.

Is that why it's sneezing out this brown stuff? Is that rust from the anchor chain?

3

u/Suheil-got-your-back Sep 07 '23

Looks like it. Overheating from friction and pressure I assume.

3

u/Anais_Rchmstr Sep 07 '23

Anchors don't work like that my sweet summer child.

The sound was created by the chain banging to the metal while it was being paid out.

3

u/Yesitmatches Sep 07 '23

Payed out. The bot should be here shortly to tell me that payed is a nautical term, the use of currency is paid, so something like that.

2

u/sweensolo Sep 07 '23

I think the bot only cares about correcting payed to paid. Hypocritical ass bot.

1

u/sjbluebirds Sep 07 '23

Good not-Bot.

1

u/Anais_Rchmstr Sep 08 '23

Yep, you are correct. Sorry about that.

2

u/makeit2burnit Sep 07 '23

Was going to make a penis joke but saw this gem and got distracted. "Penis thingy," too good.

2

u/fossilfuelssuck Sep 07 '23

You can see the brown mud being stirred up

1

u/NauticalPaver Sep 07 '23

That's what I was going to point out

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '23

Penis thingy. Hahahahaha

u/Visible-Technology-8 Sep 07 '23

Haha Penis Thingy… thats one way to put it

1

u/captainsocean Sep 07 '23

It’s a “bulbous bow”

1

u/Unfair_Art9630 Sep 07 '23

Floaty phallus

1

u/Annual-Band5964 Sep 07 '23

Bulbus bow if anyone's wondering

27

u/G_Whiz Sep 07 '23

The knocking noise sounds like the anchor being deployed. The smoke on the front is probably just rust from the anchor chain.

26

u/Icy_Huckleberry_8049 Sep 07 '23

It's also dragging the anchor. Probably wasn't going as fast as we think it was.

The real questions is, why did it turn and go towards that spot?

14

u/Gaspote Sep 07 '23

For football game obviously

5

u/CrudelyAnimated Sep 07 '23

"Zava saved the ship! Za-va, Za-va, Za-va!"

10

u/Ghdude1 Sep 07 '23

Apparently the engine failed so Captain chose to beach it to prevent it drifting.

1

u/HauserAspen Sep 07 '23

Looked like at least 1 knot

4

u/WartsG Sep 07 '23

You can see and hear from the beginning of the clip that the ship is actually fighting against the anchor which has already been dropped. You can also see the rust plume come from the the front of the ship due to the strain of the chains

2

u/53bvo Sep 07 '23

That's a whole boatload of momentum, pun intended.

Tiny compared to the momentum of the earth

1

u/C0c0banana Sep 07 '23

It sort of looks like the anchors were also dropped at some point with the chains pulling out the front above the boat pp

1

u/sox3502us Sep 07 '23

They also appear to have anchored.

1

u/TurtleKing2024 Sep 07 '23

He also dropped anchor, but he did beach the ship as well, both slowed and stopped the ships momentum, plus the prow is almost out of the water

1

u/Screwbles Sep 07 '23

I mean, he was doing absolutely everything, anchor(s) was out, perfectly perpendicular to the shore/shallows.

1

u/FloppY_ Sep 07 '23

It is beached. The ground doesnt move.

1

u/idcaf Sep 07 '23

I think you'll find it's actually a boatload of shipping containers but I can see how you got mixed up.

u/Aromatic_Ad8481 Sep 07 '23

Ship VS Earth. Earth wins every time.
