The two smaller ships that are moored directly next to the warehouse... I wonder if they were there at the time of the explosion and are now in tiny steel shards scattered over a several km area, or if those moorage locations were vacant at the time.

The Orient Queen cruise ship was sunk by the blast with several people killed.

The small ship with the orange deck appears to have been blown onto land (look above its docked location in the after picture).

I saw a live feed from later in the evening after the blast and there was a ship in that approximate location that was on fire.

Interesting that the two slightly larger ships beside the crater appear to be afloat.
