    Ooops. Martha I told you those cinder blocks were not going to hold!!

    Small Korean tanker. (Not that the nationality has anything to do with the ability to screw it up).... A ship this size won't normally have an inert gas system. Reportedly, they were tank cleaning. I think 6 crew were killed. Bad scene.

    Duke, thanks... always amazes me to see photo's like this... I did some time with Bouchard out of school.

    A friend of mine had pictures of the LMSR USNS SISLER that had a fire in Boston Ship Repair. I sailed on a sister ship for 6 years to her. Amazed me to what burnt and what didn't...

    When I first got into boats a wise Capt. told me: always carry a scrub brush, that way if you ground her your ego can stay intact :D

    Looked out my window here in HK and saw this that I believe is a bulk cement ship. They brought barges in to stabilize it and it took three days to get it resolved. I guess load master was asleep?
