> Flip-side, extending the keel would have changed the ship's draft from 4m to 10m. The ship was dragging its anchor. I don't have a chart of the waters the ship was in, but running its deep keel into the bottom could also have ended badly. Has that consideration been mentioned? It was mentioned in some article that the wreck lies 50m deep, so it seems that even with the keel extended they wouldn't have been in imminent danger of grounding.
