Default Some heavy tonnage

I wish I could have got this with my digital camera but couldn't. A live webcam will have to suffice. This ship is the American Repbulic. Every so often these big ships unload coal or gravel at the local power plant. This one unloaded some coal. I took a bunch of screen shots of the American Republic leaving our harbor. Here's some additional info on her for anyone interested:

I am always surprised how nimble these large ships are. She can turn on a dime. It is amazing how quick she made her turn. I must be playing Silent Hunter too much because during watching her depart the harbor I was wondering her AOB and speed.
