In shallow waters, cruise ships can churn up as much sediment as a hurricane

They can also absolutely ruin a captain's affair with a dancer.

From the captain’s Wikipedia article:

> Present with him on the bridge during the collision was 26-year-old Moldovan dancer Domnica Cemortan, who has admitted she had been having an extramarital affair with Schettino.

I have enough trouble with my swing keel Catalina 22 in shallow water. I’ll make sure to keep my cruise ship in the deep end.

This just in, propellers still work.
