These are a bulk carrier and a container ship, each folded from a US currency note. This must be the first time I had the chance of designing and building complete ships. In my undergrad days studying to become a naval architect, I had a small role to play in building a jack-up rig and the QE2 while working in a shipyard in Upper Clyde. Yes, it's true when I tell friends that I've been on the QE2 several time. That was my only experience in building ships, except the present one.

Container City - offices and studio space made from converted shipping containers at Trinity Buoy Wharf, East India Docks
The view outside of my office at the construction site.. a big container! While I was sitting outside looking at the sky it hit me and this composition came in to my mind.
"In 1955, former trucking company owner Malcom McLean worked with engineer Keith Tantlinger to develop the modern intermodal container. The challenge was to design a shipping container that could efficiently be loaded onto ships and would hold securely on long sea voyages. The result was a 8 feet (2.44 m) tall by 8 ft (2.44 m) wide box in 10 ft (3.05 m)-long units constructed from 2.5 mm (0.098 in) thick corrugated steel. The design incorporated a twistlock mechanism atop each of the four corners, allowing the container to be easily secured and lifted using cranes. After helping McLean create the successful design, Tantlinger convinced him to give the patented designs to industry; this began international standardization of shipping containers."

Imagine having one of them fall on your head?
Industry experts estimate that anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 containers fall off ships each year, less than 1% of the number of containers sent by sea annually but representing a huge cost to those who lose cargo to the ocean. The loss of even one shipping container, which can be 20 feet to 40 feet long and 8 feet high and may hold millions of small parts, could shut down a manufacturing line.
From last summer's road trip out to Western Colorado. I was intrigued by all the various containers located at this site in Olathe, CO. Olathe is Sweet Corn Country.
