If a ship is capsizing but does not complete the process by landing in shallow water, is that a capsize?

Some reports of the Duck Boat (remember that original topic) said it capsized. But apparently it only swamped.

Still waiting for that final report. Did a final report release happen yet?

Wikipedia explains that it depends on the size of the watercraft. For smaller ones, on its side would be capsized and upside down would be turtled. For larger ones, keeled over or upside down would be capsized.

It seems that the term can be used for any rolling of 90° or more encompassing partially capsized to fully capsized; but, still just "capsized" in common usage.

If your capstan is immersed you're capsized?

This is what I've learned today:

Sexobon is paying for Wikipedia.

All I know is that my head is cap-sized.

And also my cap.

Your head is turned upside down by accident while on water.

And also your cap

Every year Wikipedia asks for donations, and I give them $20.00. So yes I pay for Wikipedia. Because I use it everyday.

Undertoad · 10-02-2019, 07:58 AM

I've given them a dollar for every edit I've made and taken away a dollar for every edit that was removed.

They owe me

Every contribution I made to Wikipedia (even a decade ago) remains. Every so often, some extremist will overwrite some paragraphs. I was amazed. Others, in less than 24 hours, undid that misinformation. Many of the original sentences from a decade ago still remain - some had to be restored.

Examples include facts about Sadddam's WMDs. What was written then remains factual today.

I contribute about $30 a year.
I get thousands back in information.
Remember the Encyclopedias Americana and Britannica?
Huge and hugely expensive with updates yearly. Yearly!

I also use Google a lot, but I think they get more back somehow.
