Have they been doing their Master's duties on this boat ? I know almost all about ships but this particular does not mean anything specific - meaning I have not made any cruise on her... Otherwise beauty of lady of the seas. I will be back to check our true seamen's comments as I am dying of curiosity !!!!!!! SAM & SAAB
I would explain all about it JimboB, but I am a little tanked at the moment. I will leave the particulars to our resident Captains. I will say it is color coordinated with the water and sky. :)
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Been one time in Wilmington too !!!! On a bulk carrier though... M *Sorry for jumping like a flea but this may stop when all the seamen have appeared here :)*
In additon to what Raj already has said, I like to provide you with some other (probably for people without a maritime background less interesting) information:
Depicted is a tanker of the so called 'Handy Pool'. It's the double hull MT (Motor Tanker) 'Mount Kibo' of the UPT shipping company.

Looks pretty big to me even though everybody else says its probably a small one...lol...Beautiful capture with a great sky for its background Jim!!! Happy I quit smoking...lol
Thanks Mr. C for the very interesting info. Raj, I noticed that the tanker was smaller than the ones I saw on the internet when I Googled UPT. Also, thanks to Agent Ms. Capt. SAM for your interest. LOL.
