Daily Ship 6

Here was 5 in the series.  And here’s something I miss up on the Canal:  ships!  They remind me the planet is vast yet interconnected.

From a distance, I thought this was Grey Shark.  It’s actually quite different, but

its cargo is the same.   And while we’re on hauling cars, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Lygra.

Into this very busy pic comes Maersk Detroit.  Tugboats there are Susan Miller and Larry J. Hebert.

This bow of Oceanmaster has ploughed the oceans for just one year, and brings fresh salt to the port, in anticipation of another ivy winter.

I love great names like Freight Margie, here with Specialist passing.

Anyone know the name of this vessel over in GMD Bayonne?

Afrodite passes through the harbor in broad daylight.

And if you weren’t satisfied with yesterday’s view of Ramform Atlas (104 meters loa by 70 m. maximum abeam) . . .  here’s another.

And finally . . . with over 10% of the shipping in the world flagged Liberian, here’s acknowledgement that that country is also suffering from the most recent ebola outbreaks.  Note the flag on stern flown upside-down.
