What's the sensation inside the boat? Noise? Impact? Momentum change?

I imagine it'd be like being on a glacier, hitting another glacier.

That's not far off? Our boat grounded on a rock, and it sounds exactly what you'd think a 6000-ton steel tube going over a rock would sound/feel like.

Oof, listening to rock-on-hull while underwater has to be "interesting". You folks are made of stern stuff.

Only the ones in the back.

Ding ding! "Knuckledragger, arriving!"

(For those mystified: This is an inside joke.)

In my case we were on the surface. Still a bad day, but we had more signs something potentially bad was about to happen. :(

Ahh, the fine differences between “we’re going to get shouted at” and “we’re gonna die”.

Personally I imagine it would be utterly terrifying.
