This account has happily documented many reasons for vessels to be lost. Daft designs, acts of cartographical inexactitude and suicidal signalling have all featured heavily. However "capsized due to proximity of nudists" is surprisingly underrepresented in the historical record. Until now.
Helicopter shot of what looks like an upturned pontoon with three vessels tied alongside. To save you the effort of zooming in further on this blurry, pixelated mess, the people visible have more or less the regular number of socially acceptable clothes on. They're not in the nip.

a little solid-black puppy rides in a shopping cart in a pet store, but she’s not looking at any of the excitement around her. she’s looking straight at you, her eyes wide and ears dropped low, with her front two paws hooked over the shopping cart’s handle. she looks like a very sad little bat, and we’d give her the world if she asked.

Brown thrasher looking like it's about to do some brown thrashing. Somewhere down south. April 13, 2018
Very intense looking bird. "The only thrasher in most of eastern North America. Fairly large and very long-tailed, with bright rufous upperparts and heavily streaked underparts. Also note white wingbars, staring yellow eyes, and slightly decurved bill. Usually skulky and difficult t o see in shrubby habitats." This one popped out of the nearby foliage to pursue something as I was sitting on a park bench.
