A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART XXVII - XII
"I, Paul, looked at the faces of the sailors who had tried to lower the lifeboat from the ship that was supposed to take all of us from Myra to Phoenix... I could see disappointment that they had been prevented from escaping... However, their looks of disappointment changed into something more hopeful as soon as daylight came... The reason they began to look more hopeful was because they spotted land... Not only did they see land... They saw a bay with a sandy beach... So they decided to try and run the ship aground.... They did not know exactly where they were... But that did not matter... The main thing was that they saw land... They carefully manoevred the ship.... So it would not be damaged... However, the ship struck a sandbar... That was the end of the ship.... And they knew it... I was not surprised by this event... For the angel had told me that the ship would be destroyed... I have a sense, though, that the pieces of wood may well be useful for us."...Pease read the typed out attachment when you will learn that the sailors aboard the ship spot land and try to safely run the ship aground...
ATTACHMENT A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACT
PART XXVII - XII
In the early morning the sailors aboard the ship, that is supposed to take Paul and all those with him from Myra to Phoenix, spot land and they decided to run the ship aground near as beach as you can read in Acts 27:39
When daylight came, they did not recognise the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
However, the ship struck a sandbar, which caused it to be damaged beyond repair as we can know from Acts 27:41
But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.
The ship was indeed no longer sea worthy as the angel had already told Paul would be the case.
