@txbred, the underwater bulbous bow is jammed twenty feet into the bank, and the rudder planes are jammed in on the other side. The captain knew exactly what to do (aside from outright sinking it) to make it the biggest PITA possible to un-wedge. The mass of the ship and cargo is so huge that it's a herculean effort to move it without friction being a factor.
