Oh bollocks, they've changed the wording of that since I saw it earlier!
The headline was originally "Floating ship photographed off Cornwall", and I first came across it in the BBC website's sidebar list of Most Read stories and thus without an accompanying picture. "Slow news day in Cornwall," I thought to myself.
Clicking through to the article in question revealed they meant it appeared to be hovering, which might've been a more descriptive term in the circumstances, but no they'd chosen the word "floating" throughout to describe what was meant to be unusual behaviour for a ship. (Although, I suppose, they might've sunk all the others.)
Alas, someone at the BBC finally seems to have cottoned onto this too and revised it accordingly.
