    It amazes me that something this large can float.

    That's an amazing photo. It looks so top heavy as if it could tip over in a storm!

    Hmmm... why the name change? Did something happen?

    Your photo is awesome. How does such a ship stay afloat, anyway?!

    These always look so top heavy. They must be difficult in stormy weather.

    Fine photo of this outbound freighter. I think the cheese I ordered is in the container on the lower left.

    Looks like it is overloaded with empty boxes ? (judging by the waterline)

    Couldn't they have taken just one more container?

    Looks small like that but it's probably huge!

    Nice colored cargo, but there is a very lot of things.
    I love this image.

    I know nothing about ships, but the idea that this container ship can stay afloat without tipping over is hard for me to believe.
