The Ever Given one of the world's largest cargo ships, was stuck sideways in the Suez Canal for six days (Credit: Kees torn/ CC BY-SA 2.0 / Wikimedia Commons)

A 200,000 metric ton cargo boat blocking the Suez Canal for six days has finally been freed, clearing the way for over 300 ships waiting to cross one of the world's busiest waterways. The Japanese-owned Ever Given has been wedged sideways into the sandy banks of the 120-mile-long (193-kilometer-long) and 78-feet-deep (24 meter-deep) channel since March 23, 2021. It was dislodged on March 29, 2021, by a fleet of tugboats that worked all night to take advantage of the king tides — high tides that occur during a full moon when the Sun, Earth and the Moon are aligned.

                  Imagine, you buy something you really want on an online store because it has a very good discount, and while the cargo is being delivered to your city, it gets stuck.
