heavylift-eagle
The MV HeavyLift Eagle in the Firth of Forth, Jan 2009. With an oil rig as cargo. Obviously, it uses that crane to load the rig onto the ship. WRONG! The ship takes on water so that it half sinks with only the stern and bows showing. Then the cargo slides into place over the submerged carrying area, the ship pumps out the water, gains more buoyancy, and voila. Presumably not done in a heavy sea.
