I thought he might be talking about MY scotch, so you can imagine my immediate concern! Fortunately I don't drink scotch at all and my rum was fine. Also fortunately, it seems that the vessel (or wessel if you watch Star Trek) is still salvagable so at least they will still be able to restore it.

Yes, a real shame. She's a beautiful clipper. Must've been exciting back in the days with the tea races against Thermopylae. And to think that they sailed from Australia to England in under 70 days. Pretty fast for a ship that large without any source of energy other than wind.
