Names themselves can fascinate, once the basic architecture of vessel traffic ceases to vary much. I’ve noticed the same is true in some of my relations with people after all: once I got it that anatomically we’re quite the same with predictable variation, novelty is sometimes only a matter of one’s name or place of origin.
And like this below, it took me a while to figure out the English, but I did and then I found this fabulous icy Quebec foto here.
It took a while to figure this name as Ji Li Hu, a Cosco panamax tanker, as depicted here.
Some names are clear although the reference quite escapes me, except in the context of her siblings.
Looks like that bulbous bow has taken some blows.

Simply delightful, thank you. I have two named ships up in my banner….which I cannot get to fill the banner blank. We have quite a procession of car carriers in and out of port now, and sometimes two cruise ships a day during the winter.

I love looking at ships names when I’m out on the water. There are definitley some strange names out there!
