Here was the first in this series of titles, from almost seven years ago.
The barge with green containers, the bridge, and the Glovis roll on-roll off (RORO) vessel all look great bathed
in January morning light,
a bit of wolf moon light thrown in as well.
I don’t know if this RORO has called here before, but she is less than a year old,
and you can tell.
She leaves our fair city for Tema, Ghana. I’d love to see her in tropical light. Anyone there reading this?
And here’s the FLOFLO for today, this common goldeneye who flew onto this water and will flow off north when the days lengthen and the sun gets hotter. The last other type of FLOFLO–the one that floated Peking out– was documented here.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who’s eager to hear from folks in Ghana on this vessel.

I have a question.
What keeps ice from becoming a problem on the huge container ships?
Thanks Dave Howard
