I was amazed at that as well. Apparently based on my local Historian friend, they re-floated her, and put her back in service. Interestingly if you look towards the rear of the hull in that photo she appears to still be pumbing out water (bilge?).

 I'll think she ran aground with very low to no speed at high tide and the photo has been taken taken at low tide.
If this had happend when at speed or in waves and wind, the damage to the bottom would be severe and over the length of the keel from bow to where she rests on the rock. On the photo not even the bilge keel looks damaged.
The opening where the water comes out is from either a bilge pump and are the pumping out ballast water or from the boiler water pump.

Your second photo seems to prove the adage (personal experience notwithstanding) that chicks are attracted to bikers...  ;)

Here's another one for Marc...  ;D ;D Combines two of his passions, unusual vehicles and bicycles (well a trike actually- bicycle for the unbalanced!). I wonder if this guy's mother-in-law is riding in the cab...
