Thanks a million for the add'l info! So this isn't "operator" error? I should do more research on running aground. I'm assuming it's something like "bottoming out"? :)

“bottoming out” would be more of a scrape... running aground means you are stuck either by the bottom itself or by the fact that if you back the ship down you will rip a large hole in the vessel. -JAK

Very interesting... good reporting! Those paddle wheels must be real difficult to maneuver.

This is the fourth time? That's unbeleivable, what ever happened to 3 strikes and your out. One unlucky vessell!
