Obviously, this boat (or what’s left of it) has seen better days. We recently invited you, the faithful Lectronic Latitude readers, to help explain how the boat’s bow-end found its way onto the curbside of a street. After receiving over 80 responses, we thought we’d share some of our favorites with you.

We didn’t know what to say about this picture, but over 80 of you sent in excellent suggestions.
