Boat got stuck. Looks kinda funny.
There’s not a lot else to say really.
You know how when you were a child and you could squeeze past a hole in some fencing like it was no big deal and then years later you revisit your childhood home but because the natural aging process has made you larger, you can no longer fit through the hole, leaving you trapped between the pre-hole and post-hole world, and then you have to summon an army of fire fighters to butter your sides and slip you through and then you thank them before making a mental note to leave and never return because of your sheer embarrassment?
Its a lot like that.
Soon the captain/driver/pilot or whatever you call it of the ship will shave their head, change their name and become a lumberjack who only speaks in riddles.
The natural questions that arise from any major situation like this are of course; are there any consequences and am I allowed to laugh at this?
To answer that; yes there are probably consequences but you are most definitely allowed to laugh at this. It’s a big ship stuck in a canal.
What may the consequences be? Who cares, it’s a big ship stuck in a canal.
But how did it get stuck?
Surely since it’s in water, one could just get a giant fan and blow one end and it should un-wedge itself with minimum fuss. Or get a big magnet and shift it out. These are questions that only people who want to ruin the ‘let’s laugh at the boat’ narrative bother to ask anyway, so leave it be.
Regardless, years from now someone will say, “hey, remember the Evergreen ship?” To which most people will presumably respond, “No. Who remembers the names of ships. I’m not a ship nerd”. But when you say, “the one that got stuck in that canal. I forget which one. Maybe the Panama Canal?”, you can be absolutely certain that you will be met with a loud, resounding “ohh” as they recall the week that we are currently living through.
