Word Of The Day - Capsize

Capsize - (of a boat) Overturn in the water

"Because it (oil-cleaning robots) adheres to the surface of the water, it cannot capsize," he said, "So it can withstand quite severe weather. Imagine this like a leaf that lands on the surface of the water and moves with the waves and the currents and cannot be flipped over."
