Was his nickname by any chance 'stupid'?

Is that the same ship in all three pics? One seems to have shipping containers on it, and one doesn't. But that might have an angle of shot/zoom lens explanation.

No, different ships all day

Here is another pic... all of these pics were posted on a sports fishing forum
There is one comment saying this boat and occupants escaped safely,
but was later ticketed by the Coast Guard for "not giving way" under (Rule 9).

Quote:
A vessel of less than 20 meters in length or a sailing vessel shall
not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only
within a narrow channel or fairway.
