    In the wake :awesomeface: of the Key bridge fiasco, good times in the suez, and titan’s hilarious journey to join titanic, I believe it’s high time that we have a thread about ships. Ships rule. Small craft need not apply.

    It’s just like a cruise. You can lay around on the deck all day. Or you can sit or stand on the deck if you want. That’s about it but it was such a bargain

    This is an IG account of a guy who works on a large container ship. He posts tours of the ship and engine room. And posts answers to questions that people ask. Like this one about refueling. It costs five million dollars to fill the tank of a massive cargo ship.

    He did once lead a rescue party that saved a bunch of fishermen when their boat got trapped in the ice

    Went down the google rabbit hole last night and did find that one of his boats sank in the 1980s

    15-20 years ago had the opportunity to buy one of their old boats but it didn't make sense to transport a 32-footer from Lake Superior to California and have nowhere close to moor it because it's a freshwater boat. Would've been nice to own a piece of family history, tho
