Then if you feel suicidal, stick it on a big rig...

I used to work for Maersk in the US and overseas. I would bet a years pay that this ship holds more like 17,000-18,000 TEUS. They always overbuild and low ball the numbers to the press. They did that for the last three classes. S, K and M were all reported 10-20% lower than their actual capacity. Then when some other line builds a "bigger" ship Maersk could already say they had that size capacity.

Nice!!!

Would I need to take an advance knot tying class if I bought one, or would I be rich enough that someone else would be doing the nasty work?

No-one ties knots any more except us old-timers. The best owners are those who are rich enough to not have to tie them, but do so anyway, if you see what I mean.

I think that says it all. I actually learned some of that stuff as a kid and can still tie my own Monkeys Fist key chains and such. Are we all destine to become generic with no individual spirit at some point in history?
