    So sorry about the news. It's a risky business, I'm sure, even under the best of conditions.

    Very tragic that the accident happened right there at your dry dock.
    Life in the port goes on, though, as you beautiful pictures show.

    Accidents can happen anywhere, but they are especially brutal on the water.
