In February 2017, this concrete-hulled yacht broke free of its mooring in Freshwater Bay on Perth's Swan River, and settled in shallow water near the beach close by.

The owner explored possible solutions, but struggled with the weight of the boat and difficult weather conditions.

Eventually help arrived, but it took a group of men and a separate power boat hours to return the vessel to deeper water.
