Have You Ever Traveled By Cargo Ship?

@Stereoguy Very true, the lack of passenger stabilization systems might be an issue. Hey, that's a good diet plan!

@toddr13 I’d be bringing ginger candy (crystallized ginger) with me. I bring it when I fly and it’s also good in case of food poisoning.

@Nimbus did you ever try ginger for it?

@cherokeepatti Nope, it was many years ago but I use it now :)

@MrBlueGuy There are people who actually enjoy it. Some are posting videos of their trips.

@SW-User sometimes I watch a video and wish I’d gotten a job on one of the cargo ships when I was young to see how I would like working on one. You go off for months at a time, I don’t know if you have to rent something in between jobs or go back home to your parents or what. Sometimes you’re away for 9 months at a time. Seems good not to have to drive back & forth to work. But you don’t really get a day off either, the work is continuous.

@cherokeepatti i don't know how a woman would fare amongst the gorillas though

@SW-User everyone has a job to do and there are women working on those cargo ships

@IamLara no

@Stereoguy yes you can get to Europe in 9 or 10 hours depending on connecting flights.

@MethDozer what kind of ships do they have going through there?

@cherokeepatti Any ship that is designated "Seawaymax".
740 feet in length, 78 feet wide, and have a draft of 26.51 feet and a height above the waterline of 116 feet maximum can travel the entire seaway

Lakers bigger than that cannot fit in the locks and cannot pass Massena NY. Saltiness from the ocean bigger than Seawaymax cannot come much farther than Montreal on the Seaway.
