It's part of a very high level game of cat and mouse! The consequences of an error could be a wrecked port or city...

Archy makes a great point a few posts down.

Good point! When's the last time you heard of a ship tipping over while loading(In NY bedsides). Now wondering about the 3 guys that got trapped in the hold and the various sailors on that ship.

Thanks for the link. LayoutGuru2 was kind enough to drive to Longview and take some photos of the ship that are posted on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1035921/posts

Yes, this picture is of the Athena when it was brand-spankin-new back in '95. I wasn't sure if it was the same ship when I first saw it, but if you examine the photos I took you'll see that it is a match. Looks like they haven't bothered to apply a new coat of paint since she was launched.

Search of ship finds nothing abnormal
