A cruise ship was delayed for a bizarre reason: sixteen shipping containers filled with bananas, plantain, and avocados fell from a cargo ship off Isle of Wight, England. The incident happened on Saturday, and the P&O cruiseship Iona had to stay at port Southampton for the night. The cruise, which has a capacity of 2,500, was taking its guests to Spain, the Canary Islands, and Portugal on a 14-day itinerary.
The coastguard advised people to avoid the area and report anything they found. “Those who fail to declare items within 28 days are breaking the law and may have further action taken against them.”
