4. Wow!

In a year she travels 195,732 miles. Fascinating to watch the crew doing their work.

Thanks for posting.

8. As an old Navy man, it made me nostalgic

Particularly seeing the Suez Canal.

Not sure how, but somebody managed to get a lot of hashish on our ship at Suez.

At least, that was the rumor!

6. I think we're gonna need this ...

[FrodosPet]

7. This website can help with that

http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/

It shows the location of most ships, and particularly big ships, that are within VHF range of shore

17. The best part of that title...

They actually had to go to a second edition on this.

9. Neat. Looks like this though..

[FrodosPet]

10. LOL!

The Emma Mærsk has a much better paint job, though!

[MynameisBlarney]

13. True

But, give it a year on the high seas...it will soon start to look like a Jawa Sandcrawler.

11. Here are some photos I took of the 'Brigit Mærsk.'

Cruising up the Delaware between Philly and Camden. I was waiting for President Obama's fleet of Marine helicopters and Ospreys to take off across the river.

Not quite the same size. I've sailed on the Queen Mary 2, which at the time was the largest passenger ocean liner.

14. Heading Southeast. Maybe around the Cape?

I've seen the Brigit here before. Pretty sure this is one of her common stops.

15. smh didn't need to be reminded that Hillary and Bush attempted to allow

the middle east to control all out main ports TPP fan?

[FrodosPet]

16. I am confused now

What does a documentary about a huge Danish container ship have to do with American ports and the TPP?

Are you saying that we should not export or import anything by sea because of TPP?

I still do not know whether I support or oppose TPP, but foreign trade is vital to not only the economy, but to international relations and ultimately, whatever peace in the world we can find.

18. Wow, those are tough jobs.

Especially those guys working in the engine room in that equatorial heat...you couldn't pay me enough.
