"George Washington is the father of his country"
"The project foundered"
"The wall collapsed"
"The business collapsed"
"The dam broke"
"The roof collapsed"
"The wall gave in"
"The roof finally gave under the weight of the ice"
"the horses foundered"
Like an old hack foundered in the street, struggling no more.
