Maybe a little top heavy?

[QC]

DJ's "bummer" thread reminded me of this. I was in Fremantle Harbor a couple of months ago on a boat, and we started to get close to this exact boat. From the angle we were approaching it looked like these cranes were actually set-up to load the boat, not the other way around. Anyway, as I'm getting closer I'm thinking "those cranes don't look like they're lined up right to load that boat" and then of course I saw that it was actually delivering the cranes. Took a shot with my cell phone that didn't come out. Typed in crane ship into Google Images and, sure as ship, there she is . . . 8)

Wouldn't want to be out in a "li'l blow" with this vessel. JR

Re: Maybe a little top heavy?

I wonder what sort of shape the hull has to it and how many tons of ballast were on board?

There is no rigging on the cranes, I'll bet all that is in the hold of the ship. Along with a lot of the machinery that would be in the dog house of the crane.

Still, that has a mighty high pucker factor..
