That is one ugly boat! What do you suppose the thing on the back is?

Looks like a giant lego of sorts

That is one ugly boat! What do you suppose the thing on the back is?

I had no idea myself, so I did a little research.  According to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen Fleet List, I'd say that looks like the car/truck carrier vessel Takasago.  The weird looking structure on the back has got to be some sort of a ramp and support structure allowing the cars to be driven onto the vessel.  There's supposedly another ramp setup amidship as well.

Here is a link to a fact sheet for that vessel:

That's my guess anyway...

I guess that would make sense to be able to drive the cars on, instead of using a crane. Probably would cut the loading/unloading time by quite a bit.

Correct, it is a ramp on the back.  I recall hearing that it can carry 5000 + cars at once.  Pretty cool to see it up close. 

My Wife and I were on a sail boat heading out from Charleston, SC that day and spent a bit of time touring the harbour before heading out to sea.

Here are a few more from the same trip.

 the windsurfing thread reminded me of this one i took last week.. 

[Vainglory, Esq.]

I took a few pics at the AMA race this weekend at Road America.

The first is Geoff May, then Roger Lee Hayden and Jamie Hacking, then Jake Zemke, and finally Mat Mladin.

On the Saturday Superbike race, they swept the podium.  Mat Mladin, Ben Spies, and Tommy Hayden went 1-2-3 all on Yoshimura Suzuki GSXRs.

I'm more of a Honda guy myself, but I started on Suzukis.

Got that welder from a friend who pulled it out of an abandoned cabin where it sat for 25 years.  Works great though
