See largest container ship on East Coast pass under Bayonne Bridge for 1st time (PHOTOS)
The Jersey Journal ^ | September 7, 2017

Posted on 09/07/2017 6:09:08 PM PDT by SMGFan

A new era for the Port of New York and New Jersey started this morning with the arrival of the largest ship to ever stop over on the East Coast. 

The CMA CGM Theodore Roosevelt sailed under the newly-elevated Bayonne Bridge today on its maiden voyage to the United States, as locals gathered at Dennis P. Collins Park to watch the massive ship's arrive.

Four times larger than the Statue of Liberty and the length of five football fields, the Theodore Roosevelt can carry more than 14,400 20-foot equivalent units (TEU). Owned by French shipping group CMA CGM, the ship made its way to New Jersey after navigating the new Panama Canal locks Aug. 22 and becoming the largest capacity ship to do so.

How’s that? 34 is a photo of a cruise ship. Lots of ordinary folks take ocean cruises.

Interesting since the CSX system doesn’t go West of the Mississippi.

As soon as we get into a hot war in Asia those babies are going to the bottom.

“Whereas a modern diesel electric just begins slowly rolling at startup, steam engines would start with taking up the ‘slack’ between car couplings.”

That has nothing to do with the engine. Modern couplers have less slack. But you can still hear that noise if you listen.

I know, I said “almost”. Those pictures just put me in mind of Esquire magazine’s “wretched excess” category. Just asking for it!
