We all know the song.

Anywho ... this particular sailor couldn't handle his liquor.

(CNN)—What shall we do with a drunken sailor?

Don't put him in charge of a 7,000-ton, 423-foot (129-meter) cargo ship, for starters.

That's how a Russian mariner who drank half a liter of rum before work, according to investigators, managed to crash into the coast of Scotland last winter -- at full speed.

The Lysblink Seaways was on its way from Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Skogn in Norway when it slammed into the rocky shoreline near Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula at about 2:30 a.m. on February 18.

When the ship was salvaged, it was so badly damaged that it had to be scrapped.
