    Kind of lost against that massive hull, huh?

    Such tiny men.

    "... Express" seems a funny name for a ship.

    This is a superb composition...the rocks on the left and the two men in the pontoon make it perfect. I can't imagine driving one of these things!

    If those two guys are painting that hull, they have job security for years to come.
