Tiny Bulldozer And A Giant Ship In Suez Canal Inspire Wave Of Memes

Internet users were quick to point out the humour behind small tugboats and excavators trying to push and pull the Ever Given free of the canal's banks.

One of the biggest container ships in the world getting stuck in a narrow waterway in the Suez Canal has given plenty of material to meme-makers on the Internet as social media websites were soon flooded with jokes, poetry and humour at the expense of a very small bulldozer which was sent to dislodge the giant ship.

The burden of dredging the route between Asia and Europe rests squarely on its shoulders. #EVERGIVEN#suezcanalpic.twitter.com/mCoehqgOxc pic.twitter.com/aqE5rPSvVB Evergreen pic.twitter.com/QX33cgM6tC A giant container ship, the Ever Given vessel, ran aground in Egypt's Suez Canal after a gust of wind blew it off course on Tuesday, bringing marine traffic to a halt along one of the world's busiest trade routes. A photo showed the Taiwan-owned MV Ever Given, a 400-metre- (1,300-foot-)long and 59-metre wide vessel, lodged sideways and impeding all traffic across the waterway as excavation trucks struggled to dig it out.
