Tsarik,

Thank you for your info. I remember in the late 70's, the Sea-Land ships set speed records from Seattle to Japan. A good friend of ours was a chief-engineer for Sea-Land and has some great stories to tell. (All good ones).

She is the former famous Sea-Land's SL-7 ("Sea-Land Exchange"). The one of dramatic pages of container shipping history. Floating monument!
