Vikings were well-known mariners, willing to sail their vessels across rough seas for the purpose of profit and adventure.
And then there’s the cruise ship “Viking Sky,” which has suffered engine failure off the coast of Norway and has lost stabilization. Kinda sucks since they’re in storm conditions.
WHEEEEEE!
The ship is *real* close to shore. On one hand, that’s good… short trips for the rescue choppers scooping up 1,300 passengers. on the other hand, the ship doesn’t need to drift too far to run aground. If it does so, it could tear out its bottom, especially if, as it looks likely, it runs aground on jagged rocks.
