It is a pretty amazing ride through the canal. The entire length of desert on both sides still have rusted and bombed gun emplacements from the Six Day War. It's like a long, skinny museum.

You only lose one guy at a time.
The pictures of Vanguard next to the local buildings are impressive.
Never mind HMS Warspite’s final act of rebellion.
Evergreen is the name of the shipping LINE.
Ever Given is the name of the individual SHIP.
Frank Sinatra sang....
....
When troubles call
And your back’s to the wall
There a lot to be learned
That wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he’d punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin’ that dam
‘Cause he had high hopes
He had high hopes
He had high apple pie
In the sky hopes
So any time your feelin’ bad
‘Stead of feelin’ sad
Just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
I would like to see a solar or battery powered excavator dig that out.
****** I just spit mtn Dew everywhere FITFLOL
Egyptian guide: which is port and which is starboard?
Captain: steer the ship straight!!
Egyptian guide makes a hard right.
Captain: NOW you know which way is starboard!
No U-turns.................
#33 Evergreen is the shipping line. They are all named “Ever Something.” This one is “Ever Given.”
Renamed to Ever Stuck : )
Any day now that picture will be texted as the new ‘emoji’ for ‘hopeless’...
ALL being orchestrated!!
Yep, unfortunately!!
Yep, unfortunately!
Yep, unfortunately!!
This was obviously done on purpose. There is NO reason there should have even been a slight turn, etc.
Yep.
She was a beautiful ship, but she never saw action - completed just too late for the war.
As I posted earlier, this is what happens “when the ship hits the sand”.
The photo of the tractor-shovel and the ship reminds me of “the flea and the elephant” image.
I’m surprised it is so narrow and hasn’t any plans for widening/expansion especially with all the trade from Asia to Europe. Panama canal has been undergoing major expansion... may be finished by now.
Wow, I bet that was a sight. Closest I ever came to such a thing was watching the lake freighters cross the straits at Port Huron.
Yes, she was a beautiful ship. I’ve had four models of her over the years, two in 1/450 (Hasegawa) and two in 1/144 (R/C and all that).
Pity she wasn’t completed in time to pay a visit to Scharnhorst or Tirpitz.

When is it going to catch fire and sink?
