T&T: hitting ship

[Rock Bradford]

Dave,  Containers are really a problem.  I've only seen one at sea, in 1975,
doing a transatlantic (cape verdes to barbados).  It was a 40' container,
all except 2' submerged.  I actually motored over to it and walked on it,
but there was no way to open it and look inside. A good friend who just
retired after 30 yrs in the merchant marines recalls losing 45 containers
one night in the north atlantic.  stand good watches.
