Aside from little and cozy houses, hotels can also be built using used shipping containers. Did you know that the first hotel made up of used shipping containers was first build in 2008 in Uxbridge, West London? According to the builders and developers of this hotel. They used 86 used shipping containers to build the hotel and the construction was 25% faster and 10% cheaper than the cost of building a new hotel made of traditional construction materials.
A Blacksmith's Hoard: The St. Saviourgate hoard probably belonged to a blacksmith. The artifacts were this stock to be sold, reworked, or recycled. Why was it buried here? Was it to keep the objects safe when the blacksmith felt personally threatened? Did political upheaval encourage their concealment? In both these cases, the smith would have hoped to dig them up again when the danger had plassed. Perhaps our smith was unlucky being forced to go away or worse ... Alternatively did he bury the objects with no intention of recovering them? was this a ritual offering to the Gods? This was a time when Pagan Viking beliefs were common. Even Anglo Saxon religious practices may have included acts like this. Buriend horads similar to this are rare with only about a dozen discovered in England. In 1995 archaeologists excavated a site on St. Saviourgate, an important street in Viking Age Jorvik. Among the remains was a pit containing an iron cauldron and a similar lead container. Conservators from the York Archaeological Trust lifted these objects together with a group of 31 iron tools, structural fittings, and scrap found under the cauldron. Despite being in the ground for around a thousand years, the metal objects and even their wooden handles had survived well. This was due to unusual soil conditions which exxcluded oxygen and prevented decay. Carefully preserved by our conservation team, a selection of these objects is now displayed here by kind permission of MAP Archaeological Consultantcy Ltd. :: display at the Jorvik Center.

26x16x6 inches and 34 quart capacity, this is Container #1. What the hell is the purpose you ask? The idea that started in my head had a single focus but in today’s world where the price of food may soon go thru the friggin roof, thanks to Obama’s Gestapo Regime, it now has become a two-fold purpose. But that’s another story for another time.
The goat is to build up a food supply for six months that when augmented with fresh fish, crabs and oysters I would have to come to port for only fuel, water or to pump out the holding tanks. This is the first of a planned 10 containers of dry goods. I have placed a few can good items in this one, but the rest of the containers will only hold dry goods.
I have no immediate plans for a trip, but my plans do put me headed to Key West by this time next year. So to ease the pain of supplying the boat right at the last moment when money may be tight and probably will be, I want to pack one of these a month.
Each one will vary in contents and strategically planned so that I don’t have to open them all at once. Each one of them will be labeled with the contents and indexed in a master file for ease of locating specific items. At this time next year I estimate the cost to have built this food stock to be appx. $800-1000. These containers are in addition to the canned meat and veggies that I also will be stocking, as they don’t need to be stored dry.
Inside of each container is a can of moisture control and each container is sealed close to airtight.
I would like to be able to sail to the Caribbean Islands and not have to ever tie to the dock if I so choose. Or at least have the ability to do so for six months. That is the ultimate goal.
Just on a side note…so as it doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone. Everyone should have food stores. The possibility of needing them in the near future is very real.
So don’t say I didn’t tell you so.
