Today's special sighting is of the container ship Maersk Alabama, recently attacked by Somali pirates as it was bringing relief supplies to drought-stricken Kenya. Recent reports indicate that the crew has retaken the ship, though none of the reports are definitive.

Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
