It was the stuck ship that launched a thousand memes, but after almost a week, the Ever Given is finally free from its compromising position in the Suez Canal and on the move.
Hilariously, for many who became deeply invested in this international story, there's only one thing they want: for the boat to be returned to where it was lodged.
some people aren't brave enough to stand by their convictions, but I'm going to say it: put the boat back now.
No, seriously, the hashtag #PutItBack has been trending on Twitter since the boat was refloated in the Suez Canal on Monday.
God damn it. I identified with that ship so much the last few days. How am I meant to excuse my own inability to get unstuck from the proverbial mud? #putitback 😭
Ever Given, one of the largest container ships in the world, was clearly an emotional crutch that many found relatable.
THERE WAS SOMETHING DEEPLY COMFORTING ABOUT THE BOAT BEING STUCK AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THEY COULD PUT IT BACK
PLEASE THAT'S MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT VESSEL PUT IT BACK PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU
