No idea, but I would not want to be there for sure.

Blimey! So the furniture is not bolted down like in a Cross Channel Ferry.

Bet there was plenty of room on the sun loungers that day.

That was either a poltergeist....

Or Prescott, walking from one side of the ship to the other....

There were indeed people onboard. A freak wave took out a window on the bridge, and the water shorted the electrical system and took out all but one engine.

Surprisingly, none of the passengers were injured, and only two crew members suffered injuries, which weren't serious.
