From military aircraft to famous artworks, from maritime disasters to ancient manuscripts, these diverse hints shed light on the intriguing phenomenon that is grounding. The United States Air Force's Martin NRB-57D Canberra 53-3973 takes center stage in one hint, reminding us of the importance of staying grounded even amidst soaring heights. Meanwhile, Claude Monet's masterpiece "Three Fishing Boats" transports us to a serene coastal scene where boats rest peacefully on solid ground. We then witness an unusual sight aboard an English cruiser as millet is pounded - a reminder that even in the midst of naval journeys, grounding rituals persist. The fair gale in the Strait of Messina leads to an unexpected encounter with nature as a massive shark finds itself stranded before meeting its demise at human hands. Turning our attention towards medicine and knowledge, we discover ancient manuscripts detailing medicinal properties written by Abul Qasim Kalaf ibn al-Abbas al Zahrawi (Abulcasis). These vellum pages remind us that they are also be found within the realms of scholarly pursuits. As we explore further, lithographs depict dramatic events such as battleships stranding during torpedo launch exercises and German steamers running aground off Bizerte. These images serve as reminders that even mighty vessels are not immune to being firmly planted upon solid ground. Adding a touch of humor amidst these serious moments is an engraving showcasing comic elements in troopship grounding. Laughter reminds us that sometimes finding ourselves grounded can lead to unexpected joy and camaraderie.
