No. it is not a beached banana. On the way down the road to Meroe, lunch beside the Nile, this huge barge. Cast up on the bank at inundation.
This is quite some way up the bank for such a large barge, imagine for a moment what the flood must look like at this level.
And trying to control this vessel with man power alone.
