Story highlights Russian mariner drank half a liter of rum, then started his shift in sole charge of cargo ship, report says 
 
 Report: Amount of alcohol consumed caused him to fail to plot crucial course adjustments 
 
 (CNN) What shall we do with a drunken sailor? 
 
 Don't put him in charge of a 7,000-ton, 423-foot (129-meter) cargo ship, for starters. 
 
 That's how a Russian mariner who drank half a liter of rum before work, according to investigators, managed to crash into the coast of Scotland last winter -- at full speed. 
 
 The Lysblink Seaways was on its way from Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Skogn in Norway when it slammed into the rocky shoreline near Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula at about 2:30 a.m. on February 18. 
 
 When the ship was salvaged, it was so badly damaged that it had to be scrapped.

For this collection, several things were done: 1. Turned off duplicate detection. This collection will be complete, as there is a good chance we will share the data, and sharing data with pointers to random other collections, is a complex problem. 2. For the first time, did all the different wikis. The original runs were just against the enwiki. This one, the seed list was built from all 865 collections.
– Did you hear the one about the drunk Russian sailor who walked into a bar and ... no, wait, this particular Russian sailor downed half a liter of rum, got behind the controls of a 7,000-ton ship, and proceeded at full speed to plow it directly into a tough-to-spot little rock we like to call Scotland, reports CNN in what sounds more like a bar story than a news story. Such was the plight of the Lysblink Seaways when it ran aground on Feb. 18 in western Scotland's Ardnamurchan peninsula, the UK's Marine Accident Investigation Branch found in a report last week. Bad weather further drove the ship aground, damaging the hull, spilling 25 tons of marine gas oil, and resulting in it being declared an utter loss. The 36-year-old officer in question—who's been relieved of his duties—became "inattentive ... due to the effects of alcohol consumption," per the report. Further, despite a ship-wide ban on alcohol, the officer was found after the accident to have a blood-alcohol content almost eight times the legal limit—a feat facilitated by the presence of an on-board store that the report says "was regularly replenished, and empty beer, wine and spirit bottles and cartons found on board after the accident indicated significant levels of alcohol consumption by the crew." And finally, "although a radar watch alarm had sounded every 6 minutes, the somnolent officer was able to reset the alarm without leaving his chair," the report says, via the Independent.
