Arrrrgh

It seems that all of Wallenius Wilhelmsen's ships' names begin with a T. There's the Tasman and the famous Tampa and this week the latest bright orange brick sitting in the port is the Talisman.

I like the little gangway that slopes down the side of the ship. It leads nowhere but to the long drop down to the ocean at one open end. There's no gate to stop you going off the edge. I like it. I like to think that out at sea they still make the occasional slippery varmint walk the plank.

Indeed. And that explains why there's a hulking green Wallenius in Port Fremantle at the moment.

Ooh! Thanks, Ted. Does that explain why some ships are orange and some are green? I prefer the orange. It's jaunty.
