This lift was due the large dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas being unavailable after an accident with Oasis Of The Seas.

Oasis Of The Seas was over the capacity of the dry dock, but was still docked. It was not lifted completely out of the water.

The dry dock broke under the ships weight causing the walls of the dry dock to collapse onto the ship. A crane collapsed onto the stern. Remarkably it didn't capsize. There where some non-life-threatening injuries.
