March 11, 2008: Cargo ship aground in France

[Aliantha]

Police officers walk near an 88-metre-long cargo vessel, The Artemis, aground on the beach of the western city of Sables-d'Olonne due to a storm. Heavy storms caused travel chaos in Britain on Monday, while France was also battered and three vessels ran into problems in the English Channel, one swept up onto a French beach.

I thought this was an interesting story and quite IotD worthy.

I hope you do too. (this is my first go)
