How a full moon and a ‘huge lever’ helped free Ever Given from Suez Canal | The Guardian

What Jamie wrote
I found this entire story of the Ever Given surprisingly engaging. I love that the Moon was key to the rescue efforts:
In the end the difference was made by two high-powered tugboats and a force even greater: a tide that swelled to its highest point in months with the full moon, and then powerfully ebbed, helping to free the Ever Given.
Some great physics at work here and what a great job by the rescue crew. 🚢
