Ships lost in San Francisco

Okay kiddo, you know how we have big boats that sail in the water? Well, sometimes those boats can get into trouble and can't sail anymore. That's what happened in San Francisco. Some boats were sailing in the water there but they got in trouble and couldn't move anymore. Some of them even sank and went underwater.

There are many reasons why these boats got in trouble. Sometimes the weather gets very bad and the waves are too strong for the boats to handle. Sometimes the boats hit something underwater that they couldn't see and got stuck. And sometimes the people who were driving the boats made mistakes and got into trouble.

When a boat sinks, it can be very dangerous for the people who were on board. They could get hurt or drowned. That's why we have special people called divers who can swim underwater and help rescue the people who are trapped in the sunken boats.

The boats that were lost in San Francisco are important because they can harm the environment. When boats sink or spill fuel or oil into the water, it can hurt the fish and other creatures that live in the water, as well as the plants on the shore. That's why it's important to work hard to clean up any damage that happens when boats get in trouble.

So, long story short, sometimes boats can get into trouble and sink or get stuck in the water. It's important to help the people who were on board and also to protect the environment from any damage.
