Well, that didn't work so great.

The little boat that could.  =)

Great advertising for the boat maker.

i wonder how much garbage has made the atlantic tour route.

The article doesn't mention that it sank.  It appears to have drifted

Once it filled with water it probably reached a state of neutral bouancy just under the surface.  I know a guy who hit a small sunk boat post ike. Lucky for him, his much larger boat pretty much sliced it in two.  Still had some repair work done, though.

Didn't parts of the fishing boat that the book/movie "The Perfect Storm" was based on, recently turn up in Ireland?

Ahh...it was a tag from a lobster pot.
