It's a section of a ship hull laying on it's side. I see cars and trucks is there a 911 in there? Do I see a Fuchs?

Nah..... Just a whole bunch of Hyundaises............

That's a remarkable feat of engineering.

Yea, it is just amazing that pulling a chain back and forth can just cut a cargo ship in half like that. No doubt the leaking oil from the car engines and fuel in the tanks cause a lot of pollution, but it is cleaned up and gone now. Mostly a lot of new econobox cars destroyed, but it is no big deal to make more.

I keep looking close hoping I find the easter egg...but my eyes aren't the greatest anymore.

If you do on the lower left, it's just a wild guess.

4200 brand new Kia's and Hyundai's.
23 Korean and Filipino crewmen.

The ship had room for 7742 vehicles total.

So what was so important to 'look close' at?

At first glance..it looks like just a bunch of broken debri.
Not important.

Yeah, I find that fascinating as well. In surgery, one old-time way of cutting through bone (such as in an amputation) is to use a Gigli saw. Imagine two wooden handles, with a length of bumpy wire cable in between.

Hoffa...ha!

[LEAKYSEALS951]

Just think, in thirty years, those will all be electric cars.

[pmax]

Der's the Kia you're looking fer !

[stevej37]

^^^ Spot a Golf GTI...give me a shout.

I flew over it a couple of times in the last year with friends on trips down to SSI for lunch. Quite a recovery project.

There's a tool for every trade!

I'd like to know how all that scrap gets used.
