I don’t think “grounded” really describes what is happening.
They’re flying an Indonesian flag.
Yeah it looks like they may have “grounded” after sinking. In which case I’m going to imagine the salvors will be praising their wafer thin under keel clearance.
What would you call it?
I think @DamnYankee described it well enough…It sunk in relatively shallow waters. In my simple mind grounding is when you are hard fast but the seas are below the man deck. If the seas are above the deck, it sank.
