That's a couple of times I've seen this video and it still makes my stomach churn watching a ship doing something so wrong !

Can you imagine the reaction of health and safety watching people and traffic going off and on a heaving stern door. Seamanship brilliant, safety observance zero !

just that having spent most of my working life standing on one bridge or another, to watch a ship charging at the hard stuff on purpose just doesn't feel right. Notwithstanding how good a shot he was or it being a shipbreakers !

How do you think the RNLI Coxswains are going to feel
running a Shannon up the beach for the first time?
As Mike says.
You want to stay away from the putty.
