Big Stella
Old ice breakers that were used on the Buffalo river and surrounding creeks, they look, sound and drive like tanks. It's had to believe but these things actually float ! Or at least they used too lol
I was inspired to go shoot these by a couple photos ScottSmith14227 put up here of the newer ice breaker used nowadays.

As the wave hit the breaker, the sea roared up. I pelted back landward, and the lens cap flew off its tether and about 20 feet into the air. It hovered for a second, banked out to the Channel and hurtled down. My language wasn't quite so poetic at the time.
Record Breaker
Weighing about 200,000 tons (180,000,000 kg), Iceberg Rock is the largest piece of ceiling, called breakdown, to fall in Carlsbad Cavern. But don't worry, falling rock is unlikely to occur again. Roof collapse is a natural process of cave development, but it eventually stops. When the ceiling reaches an arch shape, like a bridge, it can support the weight of rock above the cave.
Look up in the ceiling. You can see a fissure that continues into the Big Room after you go around and under Iceberg Rock. Surface water traveling down this fissure loosened the rock. When it broke free, it hit the sloped floor, slid downhill, and rotated counterclockwise. Iceberg Rock hit the back wall with such force that a section of the King's Palace ceiling below broke off.
