Cargo ship carrying 4,000 cars sinks in Atlantic Ocean

A cargo ship that was disabled when it caught fire near the Azores almost two weeks ago has sunk in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Felicity Ace was being towed to land when it began to list to starboard in heavy seas about 250 miles off the Portuguese island chain and took on water in heavy seas, according to the ship's manager.
The Portuguese navy confirmed that it sank in a location outside of Portugal's territorial waters that is over two miles deep.
Approximately 4,000 primarily from Volkswagen Group brands, including Porsche and Lamborghini, were onboard and being shipped from Germany to the U.S. when the ship caught fire for still unconfirmed reasons, although some have suspected it may have been caused by a battery in one of the electric vehicles in the shipment.

Lithium batteries are a hot topic in the maritime industry right now, because of shite like this. Fire on a boat is bad bad. Metal fire is bad bad bad bad.

The son of a friend of mine lost the use of his house to a fire that started in his garage and it was deemed to have started by his lithium battery in his mower that was stored in the garage. Water came in and flooded the area enough to partially submerge the mower.
This was during Ida and it took a long time for adjusters to get out, determine damage and process the claim.
