Great pictures!. Those things are huge!. In a previous job I was a buyer for a lot of parts from asia and container shipped. Korea, Japan, Indonesia. Always got a kick out the container ship names. Remember one being name The Pugwash Senator.

It was a blast, I hope to do it again if he comes back to this port, it's only about an hour north of me, across the channel from the abandoned Alameda Naval base where the "Myth Busters" do all of their road tests and crash simulating.
