Egyptian mummies, both animals and people, had a number of uses:
- Mummy brown, a pigment used in paints in the 1800s;
- Mummia, a medical preparation made of ground-up mummies;
- firewood; and
- fuel for trains :D

Henryed:
I've just read that when a farmer in Egypt discovered a cemetery of 40,000 mummified CATS in the late 1800's.....these were shipped to England...as fertilizer at £4 per ton....
Now, that is what I call a very strange "Bulk Cargo".
(Cats were much revered animals back in ancient Egypt. And 'Mummified' a la Pharaohs!)
I claim the Ship Spotters Prize for "Weird comment of the week"......Regards! Steve.

Hello everyone Ship Spotters, I can not even participate in The discussion because I do not has technical knowledge in the ship construction, but I thank you for your post to my image whereby I, after all, have been a little wiser.

@ Denis, for information, if it means anything, CRANZ has a roofed crew path between bulkhead and hull from bow to stern.

@ Arne, yes weird because it's not that way was an old ship, it even had an newer main engine.

Best Regards
Bendt

Sadly to see this beauty at the breakers yard. I still hoped, she could be preserved by the danish Udviklingsfonden.

My father once worked on a tanker

Yes Denis, not to mention cement clinker, china clay, potash, stone chippings and any other bulk cargo you can think of. Hold had to be dry by the morning so you could start loading. Happy days.!!!!
Dеnis on Sep 15, 2012 10:41 (9 months ago)
Awful. Imagine cleaning the hold after coal, so you can take grain.

Pls compare with this view into the hatches of a ship built 10 Years earlier:

this ship - classic of old school!
Patagualino on Sep 15, 2012 01:23 (9 months ago)
It's not meant to be a Battleship Denis....only needs to be waterproof.
Cheers,
Steve.

Funny I thought they all have a hold like this but not where cargo & water are separated only by some 10 - 15 mm thick plates.
