A sailboat collided with a railway bridge near Grou, Netherlands on Sunday afternoon. A video shows the bridge closing just as the sailboat hits it. Witnesses went to the people on the sailboat. They were shaken, but they are doing well. They say the light was green.

I always ask the captain, "Let me know when propellers and thrusters are clear." When they're slow working the lines, and the wind is blowing you off, it can give for a few moments of tension. Anyway... start hoisting the alpha flag. I feel a BT inspection is required.

A 3 year old girl playing on a Greek beach was blown out to sea by a sudden gale force wind and current. Her parents and lifeguards couldn't catch up with her and called the coast guard, who in turn contacted a nearby ferry. The girl was saved and reunited with her parents.

A Russian man led police in Florida on a dramatic marine chase for over an hour, after stealing a luxury yacht worth $2.5m. The man boarded the 68-foot vessel on Monday afternoon, before attempting the daring escape from the marina. Officers from Martin County ground and marine units were forced to ram the yacht into nearby mangroves in order to ground it. The man refused to surrender when deputies boarded the vessel, and tear gas was used to force him to come out.

The Voith-Schneider Propeller is a vertical-axis marine drive whose spinning blades change pitch continuously, letting a ship generate instant thrust in any direction, like a helicopter rotor underwater. Super-maneuverable, perfect for tugs and ferries.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not the anchor that holds a ship in place, but it's the weight of the anchor chain. This is how such a chain is forged.
