              • That first Alaska pic, purely coincidental I assume, but that's a 58, 59, and a 60 Chevy all in a row. Maybe I'm getting old and forgetting shit, but I never remembered an earthquake that big in Alaska in the 60's.

                    Oh I know that, I just never remembered that earthquake in the past, if that makes sense. I don't remember it in school, books, History Channel, etc.

                        • Do they "boat" it over? It looks like it is designed as a hull, kind of.

                            Probably towed.

                            • Where was it manufactured? Maersk is one of the two groups that I'm convinced run the world.

                                Singapore. Where nearly every offshore rig shipyard is.

                                They are actually building four - this is just the first.


                                Here's the Keppel FELS yard they are coming out of.
