ReplyDeletetake that ocean!
ReplyDeleteThe photo foreshortens it somewhat, I think. Supposedly it's as long as the Empire State Building is tall.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's just about the ugliest thing that's ever been inflicted on the ocean. @Robb, well said.
I'm sure that doesn't piss the people of Haiti off. "Nice ship. Well, time for me to go back to my cardboard and corrugated steel mansion."
ReplyDeleteHope they have enough lifeboats for everyone this time.
