| Description |
English: I took this picture in the Bosporus. Istanbul. Europe is on the left hand side and the Asian side on the right so this boat is heading for the Black Sea. I saw where the boat was registered and wondered just how close it would get to home before running out of water. I am going to geotag Ulan Bator, as we would spell it, the capital of Mongolia to show you just what a 'flag of convenience' it truly is. Only 'ships of the desert' can reach it
I thought you might like this poem, one learnt by nearly all English children of a certain age. I leave it to you which describes this vessel best. Cargoes by John Masefield John Masefield (1878-1967) (English Poet Laureate, 1930-1967) Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine. Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus, Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores, With a cargo of diamonds, Emeralds, amythysts, Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores. Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack, Butting through the Channel in the mad March days, With a cargo of Tyne coal, Road-rails, pig-lead, Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays. |
