A nice and sharp photo of this giant Cornelius. I counted 18 bays(container space) across here. I had been on ships with only 11 bays across!. An impressive sight from all sides.

The size of this just boggles the mind Mr. C. - well captured - the containers looks so small on there and so large when passing in front of me on a freight train.

I sometimes see some large ships pass through the Cape Cod canal but nothing quite as large as this. Great capture Cornelius.

I hope that all is strapped down securely in preparation for rough seas in the north Atlantic. These ships are impressive, as is your photo, Cornelius.

Impressive ship, well-built to hold that kind of weight in cargo. I like the colorful containers and the details of the ship...
