A large cargo ship, the NCL Saltin, unexpectedly ended up in the garden of a private home in Norway early Thursday morning. The homeowner awoke to find the massive vessel partially lodged on his property. The incident quickly gained international attention due to its unusual nature. According to a statement by the ship's crew, the sole sailor on watch had fallen asleep at the helm, leading to the grounding. The video showcases the dramatic refloating operation, involving tugboats and specialized equipment. "It was quite a shock to wake up and see a ship in my garden," said the homeowner in an interview. The successful refloating of the NCL Saltin serves as a reminder of the importance of maritime safety and vigilance.
