your daily boat

i work right next to some very busy shipping lanes, and every day on my way i see a new crazy ass boat outside. i like to make a mental note of their names, and then google them when i get in, to learn a little bit about life, you know?

so i'm going to start sharing them with you.

today's boat: the tuchkov bridge!

will you get a load of how big she is?!?!

how OLD is she? 6 bears old
how BIG is she? 27,775 tons!
what does she have in her tummy? crude oil (i have a feeling they'll all be carrying that, but we'll find out together, ok?)
forever home: liberia

fun facts:
she seems to be named after a real-life bridge in st. petersburg, russia.
she got stuck on her way to baltimore a couple years ago.
you can track her location on the internet, though it's a bit delayed.
