"Stop relocating innocent ships,"

The Ever Given ship that was finally freed from the Suez Canal gave us some great memes and it seems some people don't want them to end.

A petition has been created calling for the 400m-long ship to be put back in the Suez Canal so it can live its 'best life'.

The ship was freed from the canal after being stuck for nearly 6 days.

Suez Canal is one of the world's busiest trade routes and the blockage caused hundreds of ships to be stranded.

CEO of Dutch salvage company Boskalis,Peter Berdowski told BBC News that firm helped refloat the ship ‘thereby making free passage through the Suez Canal possible again’.

There was concerns for livestock welfare onboard the ships due to the number of days the ship was stuck.

Now there is a petition to put the ship back.

Parik Patel who created the petition wrote on the petition’s page:

"The Ever Given was just living its best life in the Suez Canal before it was torn away. Many people viewed that ship as a beacon of hope that distracted them from the pressures of daily life during a pandemic. PUT THE BOAT BACK!"

According to Ladbible, the petition currently has over 1,000 signatures and is growing by the minute.

People have started commented of the petition saying:

"Stop relocating innocent ships,"

Another wrote

"That’s it. I’m never using the Suez canal again until the boat gets put back,"
