A year to the month after the Ever Given blocked the Suez canal for a week - prompting global fascination and countless memes - the container ship's cousin has run aground in the Chesapeake Bay.

Officials are now scrambling to refloat that container ship, ironically named the Ever Forward, after it got stuck on Sunday night as it tried to head from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, Bloomberg reported.
