Default Spoolin's Ship

Spoolin was in port for a day here in the Port of Oakland and invited a few of us to come tour the ship. This thing was a floating city, enjoy the pics!

yeah, i was like getting really dizzy with the scale of it. I spent a large part of my life onthe sea and I ran boats for a living for years but nothing of this caliber. There were miles of tunnels and chambers with machine shops, electrical engineering, fire control, engine control, galley, etc.
