Walked under the BT Alaska (BP tanker) in Portland dry dock. My mind was guessing how big my grease spot would be if the blocks disappeared.

Also, the anchor chain links were impressive. Did a google search and the Nimitz class anchor chain links are close to 400 pounds. Not sure if the crude tanker chains were as heavy but surely same order of magnitude.
