This is a Zulu Igulu or container from South Africa. It is today part of the collection of the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, Canada, where its museum catalogue number is K5 132 a-b
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.

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.
A westbound CSX container train passes a high car detector on the New Castle Subdivision near New London, Ohio. Given that this train has no double-stacked containers, no alarms are likely to be triggered.
"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."

Finally took a few decent pictures of my new container car. Color green dictated by the fact that part 30036 comes only in green, white, black and dark bluish gray.
On the east side of Austin's central business district lies Rainey Street, a two-block long section of the city that not long ago was a neighborhood of small, mostly single-family homes. Today it is a "neighborhood" of bars and restaurants which exist in converted houses or have been constructed on land once occupied by houses.
Backyards have become beer gardens, and front porches places to dine at the establishments which serve food. There even is a property blocked off for food trucks. Although a few hold-outs have kept their homes, that won't last long as the lots are now far more valuable than the structures sitting upon them.
Grades, subjects, and time have been the containers in schools. The Web has no end.

I've had this thing about shipping containers for a while, probably since I read this article: The 20-Ton Packet.
Yesterday, I took my son with me to take some photos. Taught him some stuff about photography (and may have inadvertently taught him about trespassing).

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.
