The 90 meter long, 4868 dwt cargo vessel Arklow Resolve became disabled off Marstrand, Sweden. The cargo vessel was bound for Sevilla from Gothenburg when it suffered engine failure. Unable to make repairs, the Arklow Resolve went adrift in heavy sea with waves reaching 4 meters in height. Authorities were alerted and dispatched two patrol boats to the scene. The patrol boats took the Arklow Resolve under tow and proceeded to Dana Fjord near Gothenburg. There the cargo vessel dropped anchor where it will undergo repairs to the main engine. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Not the most spectacular photo in and of itself, but this is from the very early years of photography and shows the stern of the Demerara in dry dock in Bristol in 1851.
https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O102334/stern-of-the-demerara-in-photograph-jones-calvert-richard/This shipyard scene is an early example of photo reportage. The three women on the deck and the man leaning against one of the timbers are viewing the SS Demerara, the second largest ship in Britain, in the aftermath of a nationally reported incident. On her way to have her engines fitted, the newly built ship ran aground and her back was broken. She was towed back to this dry dock.
The photograph was made by an early photographic process, the calotype process. During the 1830s William Henry Fox Talbot invented a way of making paper negatives and from them multiple paper prints. In doing so, he laid the foundations of modern photography. Calvert Richard Jones learned of these developments in 1839 through a neighbour in South Wales who was Talbot's first cousin. Jones was one of the first to apply a schooled artist's eye to photography.0 -
