Sinking LEGO boats with six LEGO machines

Watch more with these video collections:

What does it take to sink a LEGO boat? It depends on the size and build of the boat, and the method used to sink it.

This Brick Technology video puts seven LEGO boats to the test against six increasingly effective boat-sinking LEGO machines: a cannon, a vortex, a wave machine, a catapult, a water pump, and a crane.

Which machine will bring down the most boats? And what method will bring down the biggest boat in the group?
