Sorta OT but it did happen in the Pacific during World War II

March 1943 - the Russian freighter LAMUT ran aground on the Washington coast. Most of the the 52 people on board were rescued. The Coasties that assisted the ship tied their shoelaces together in order to have enough line to pull a messenger line and ultimately a towing hawser up to the top of the cliff. The Russkis had to climb the hawser. I think the ship and situation is pictured here after the crew was taken off.

Looks so tiny among those cliffs...

Now I´m waiting for the people to ask for shoelaces as comunication lines modelled in the game and if not if it will be added to AE[:D]

Apparently those Russian captains are not the best skippers - especially when sailing in the waters of the Evergreen State. Just a couple of years ago we had a Russian freighter run aground on its way into Olympia. It seems that the captain mistook a shallow bay for the passage between two islands that he needed to take...
