Yes, this ship is named for the town in Italy, but you must admit, it’s ironic that Trieste is one letter from “triste” which is also Italian for “sad”
I didn’t make anything up.–but I did get my ship names wrong. The same monsoon that caused this accident sunk another container ship, killing 9–same problem; containers broke free…
My fail.
Interesting trivia: apparantly this cargo shifting happened on the Ital Florida’s maiden voyage.
Don’t know if that is photoshop or not … but that kind of shift does happen on rough seas from time to time … I’ve seen them come in to the port of Baltimore like that … it’s actually rather fascinating to watch.
+15 Internets!
I’d say the submitter deserves more than that for creating such a great photoshoop!
agreed. good photoshop work
“Good”? Don’t you mean “GREAT”?
when they say ‘classic’ they’re not kidding. this has been around forever.
Since before the great ice age?
yup
This is super old then. It’s great that you informed me of this!
you know, if it wasn’t an Italian ship, I might agree on it being shopped. But, knowing how things work home in Italy, this looks quite the norm.
Try doing a search for “Ital Florida” and think again. Real incident.
I don’t have time to do a search. Can you send me a link? That’d be so great!

Trst je naš!
Haha, še en Slovenec
Trst je naš!
Fiume (Rijeka) meg a mienk!
…volt egykor.
An oldie and goodie.
Tiiiiiiiimbeeeeeeeeeeer!
Wait — beer is falling?
Yeah. That’s a fail!
Look; it’s even laughing at itself! Just look on the side.
The shipment of fail just arrived.
Looks like someone doesn’t know how to play jenga.
All aboard the FAILBoat.
of course it looks an italian boat ! ;D
I remember that one… Half the crew was swept overboard; 9 people drowned.
The boat is NOW DIAMONDS!
So they are going to sink to the bottom of the ocean… what a waste.
Did anyone see the “HOHOHOHOHOHOHOH” above it’s name? This was meant to happen!
I hope all the Chinese slave girls weren’t in the ones on the bottom right.
How the hell are the two green ones on the right staying there? That’s physically impossible!
They clamp to each other, they don’t just sit stacked 6 high without some sort of securing mechanism.
*Slide to the left*
Let’s hope they have insurance.
Mmmh, Gareth, why did you make that up? It was just a bunch of containers lost due to big waves…

good looks
I was looking at some of the first fails last night. This one was among them. Very, very old, indeed.
Says 2007 on the bottom right. Old very much?
My first viewed fail! I was a fail virgin when this originally came out. Ahh, memories.

Trieste, in dutch ( with a small stretch) is translatable as Sad
That indeed is a sad ship

Several other pics here
Yes, and if you notice, the colors of the containers in the “before” shot don’t match up with the colors in the “after” shot at all. Totally fake.
Sure they do. Look *carefully*. They’ve *moved*, after all.
those gonna be some uncomfortable immis
