That's good!! The British have a great sense of humor.
 
Too funny!
 
Those are Aussies who have an even better sense of humor:)
Oops...my first clue should have been when one of them mentioned a shipwreck off the coast of Australia. Thanks for setting me straight. :confused:
 
Here is the full story of the front falling off https://www.amsa.gov.au/environment/major-historical-incidents/Kirki/index.asp

"At 0300WST Sunday 21 July the damaged bow section broke off causing the collision bulkhead to fracture and expose No.1 cargo tanks to the sea. Cargo oil was spilled and subsequently fire broke out from the bow, probably as a result of arcing from exposed electrical cables. At this time the Kirki was 24 nm south west of the West Australian fishing village of Cervantes, 245 kms north of Perth. The weather was severe, force 8 winds from the west/south west, rough seas and heavy swells."
