I assume a reply here will bring it forward for additional comment on the terms "capsize" and "overturn."
Did this vessel do either as all reports report? https://www.wsj.com/articles/coast-g...rt-11567982240 The incompetence of the whole journalistic chain is deplorable. I have to say that at least this was kind of funny: "A car carrying ship developed a serious list off Georgia." |

The ship Hyundai Glovis Golden Ray is said to have developed a serious list of 80 degrees and then overturned and capsized, ending up on the bottom (in water about half its width) with a tilt of 90 degrees.
There is simply no meaning to the words "capsize" and "overturn." How long can a car or truck remain of use turned on its side? Or, I suppose, on its nose or tail? They are trying to decide whether to right the ship or cut it up in place. |

If a ship is capsizing but does not complete the process by landing in shallow water, is that a capsize?
Some reports of the Duck Boat (remember that original topic) said it capsized. But apparently it only swamped. Still waiting for that final report. Did a final report release happen yet? |

People get what they pay for.
Wikipedia explains that it depends on the size of the watercraft. For smaller ones, on its side would be capsized and upside down would be turtled. For larger ones, keeled over or upside down would be capsized. It seems that the term can be used for any rolling of 90° or more encompassing partially capsized to fully capsized; but, still just "capsized" in common usage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsizing |

All I know is that my head is cap-sized.
And also my cap.

Your head is turned upside down by accident while on water.
And also your cap |
