Very cool! William explained how it worked to me. He thought it was very cool, also. Being familiar with container ships, I can only imagine the size of that joker! Thanks for sharing! I'd never heard of such a thing!

Daphne, tell William, when you guys 'finally' get here, we'll give him a chair and binoculars and he will be fascinated with what sails by here!!!
