Building the Largest Ship In the World, South Korea
(there were 8 other Triple E’s at different stages of production at the shipyard at the same time). After the champagne smashing ceremony I was expecting a tour of the ship from someone who knew it inside and out – instead I was just told “here it is – off you go!”. “Er OK … do you have a map?”. “No. The engine is that way, the bridge is that way. Have fun, and make sure you aren’t on board in 5 hours because the ship will be leaving for Russia.” So off I went …-- Photographer Alastair Philip Wiper

Your Say
Well, floating FEMA camps comes to mind.
Or boats willing to take all the disenfranchised immigrants back to "the old country" where almost everything was so much better than here. Would only need enough fuel for a one-way trip.
How about isolation wards for Ebola, the latest über-plague that has so far claimed around five thousand lives since 1986?
That's right folks, our latest crisis has about the same death count as the Trade Towers or as swimming pools in any given year. Eek, let's all panic.
My uncle Louie Lozko, we all called him "Letsgo Lozko", he raised bantam chickens. He only was on board a ship twice in his life. One was a round trip to Europe in WWII and the other was the Mackinac ferry up in Michigan. He much preferred the Macinac boat, there was Bratwurst and beer on that one. He never got no plague from the places he went.
"When Blacks riot, neighborhoods burn. When Whites riot, continents burn." That was his motto.

Cool! I wonder how many canals those ships won't fit through? Must be saving a whole BUNCH of fuel by goin' the long way home. Of course, if they're only intended for "local" deliveries....
"We have to let "others" pay for rebuilding the canals" Well, might be a nice WPA project for currently unemployed ISIS folks. Of course, it could turn into a forced labor (slavery) "prison" project, "sponsored by the UN, overnight.
