update on bow balls

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
here's a picture, again shot from the ferry, of the bulbous bow ball that reduces the wake on the big ships. you can see the bulb since the ship is unladen and riding high. when the tanker is full, the water line is about where the grey and rust colors come together. As you can see, at that point, the bow ball is under the surface. more to follow.
