In 2004 the Finnish Cargo Ship 'Global Freighter' was driven willfully on shore after it had hit a rock and started leaking.
When the ship tilted, a life boat was lowered to evacuate some of the crew, but the life boat got stuck on a strengthening bulge on the ship side.
According to Maritime regulations it must be possible to lower life boats even when the ship is 20 degrees tilted. Global Freighter was tilted 14 degrees.
