Most goods are delivered to locations in Alaska by tug and barge. We live similarly in Maui.
This photo was taken while we were sailing on the Sapphire Princess up the Inside Passage into Alaska.
Notice that there are boats and cars sitting on top of those container stacks. One barge we saw during the cruise had an entire tugboat on top, being transported "dry".
You can see more detail in the larger sizes.

A pair of containers in my balcony "rock garden." You can barely see the rocks now :)
Both contain dragon's blood stonecrop (Sedum spurium), and "black" sweet William (Dianthus negrescens). The container on the left also has some hare's tail grass (Lagurum ovatum), and the one on the right has some angel hair grass (Stipa tenuissima), but they're almost completely hidden by the other plants. Neither of these grasses is happy with the relative lack of sun in this spot.
To my chagrin, dragons now bleed pink and green, and black sweet Williams were apparently never black. Sigh.

CSX westbound stack train Q015 is running on Track No. 2 adjacent to the Portage Hike and Bike trail near Kent, Ohio.
Container City is a market place located in Cholula not far from the pyramid. The buildings in this market place are made up of shipping containers which have been stacked and modified in various ways.
26 of 40. A series of largely random pictures taken whilst travelling as a passenger aboard the CMA CGM PUCCINI a 65,000 ton container vessel. The voyage was from London to Perth during February and March 2017. The ship takes up to 6 passengers (initially only my wife and myself) and the route was around Northern Europe, Gibraltar, the Med, Suez Canal, East Africa, Reunion and Fremantle (Perth Australia).
Well, here is another in my [occasional series on containers](http://www.jezblog.com/index.php?showimage=1316) ........ Containers....... [For shipping and world trade](http://www.jezblog.com/index.php?showimage=1231&PHPSESSID=253e73527f577b8f5f3d5c19047cb3a1&reply_to=47309&PHPSESSID=253e73527f577b8f5f3d5c19047cb3a1)......... but right now Im really thinking of the containers.......... Yeah the actual containers themselves...... and what's in them...... if any of it could keep or would be worth keeping for a very long time........
Today I went to the [British Museum to see an amazing exhibition of 'The Book of the Dead'](http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/all_current_exhibitions/book_of_the_dead.aspx) . Really it is looking at the religion of Ancient Egypt. The beliefs and spells to guide the dead of their time into the life everlasting........ Into the 'Field of Reeds'.
"The Field of Reeds. The God who is in it is Ra.
The very high mountain.
The Mound of transfigured spirits.
The Mound of Wenet. The god who is in it is the Destroyers of Souls.
The river of flaming fire.
The Mound of Kheraha. The god who is in it is Hapi."
(spell 150 names of the mounds of the Netherworld)
The book of the dead took the form of hundreds of spells written to protect and guide the spirit through the tests that they must pass to make it into eternal life and the prospect of riding with the Sun God Ra on his boat each day as he rode across the skies.
It's amazing that 3000 year old bits of papyrus survive to this day and are on display to pass on all that was sacred to the ancient Egyptians. Hey that in itself is a pretty amazing testament to the way they preserved their dead and the containers they buried them in ...... as each individuals book of the dead was buried with its deceased owner........ Often they almost clutched it ........ Mummified in it in their sarcophagus.
I don't know if any of our religious texts will stand a reading in 3000 years time......... or need to be stuck on to embalmed corpses......... and I wonder what of our civilization of now will still survive to be marveled at in a distant future.
I don't know what could, should or would survive. But Im not sure any of the stuff in these containers is it................
I'm not sure where you would put anything you wanted to keep....... something you wanted to be presented to the world in 3000 years from now........ maybe on the internet..........??????
Although Harv must be working on a pretty amazing series of catacombs under his house........ As today he tells me he unearthed an unopened box of........ :
"This is a FULL BOX of SEALED Agfa Record Rapid (50 sheets), a paper considered to be one of the best ever made.
Agfa stopped production of this paper in the 90's, it has acquired cult status as being 'state of the art' exhibition paper.
The box is factory sealed, unopened, undamaged and was safely stored in cool dark conditions. (see pictures)
This is a very rare opportunity, I doubt you'll see an unopened box again as they are simply not available anywhere.
Much of my portfolio is printed on this paper, if I still had a darkroom I'd keep it but I switched to digital years ago."
The like of such a valuable and rare find ........ can only be dug from ancient protected places........ Protected from the desert sun and away from grave robbers and sand vipers............ Yes it can only be found in ancient hidden rare places.......... er.......... or otherwise you can bid for it on ebay ........ hehehehehehehe.......... :

Two APL containers on CSX train Q012. APL stands for American President Lines. Back when all of the ships of that line were named after US Presidents. The US merchant marine container vessels are mostly foreign owned these days.
