From the album SC4 Scraps
A work crew sets up near the wreck of the MV Rivacoma, which had run aground and rusted on the bank of the Slate River for a decade after suffering a rudder malfunction. The wreck will be removed and sold for scrap, along with the remains of several fishing and pleasure vessels that had broken their moorings after a flood. -
Sentences captain to 16 years. He claims he was thrown under the bus by his company. But he was filmed in a life-boat well before the "evacuation" of the ship was complete. He was not only incompetent as a seaman, but also irresponsible as a captain. The master of the vessel is responsible for every soul on board and must do his utmost to see they all escape. Instead both he and his crew proceeded to 'run in circles, scream and shout' while themselves escaping. I am a seaman, and have been skipper of my own yacht in bad conditions but I’ve never been wrecked. However, I always looked after my passengers and crew (mostly crew), and as a seamanship instructor I wonder if I would have had the guts to go down with the ship trying to get everyone to safety.
