Containers often float with one corner up due to air trapped in the non opening end. I know the new containers are designed to let the air vent out, but there are still many thousands of old containers in circulation.

It seems an Australian pleasure boat is sunk every year due to hitting a container in the Southern Ocean. I'm not so sure you'd see one during the day, with eyes dead ahead, with the usual sea state.
