A photo of MPV Hirta in Aberdeen Harbour taken last year from my office near the top of the multi-storey office block at Blakey’s Quay. Next phot: Thirty minutes later I was departing my office basement car park when the Hirta, attempting a three point turn in the tight harbour, steamed towards me without slowing whereupon it collided in dramatic fashion with the harbour wall. #meermittwoch #seawednesday #scotland #aberdeen #aberdeenshire #shipsofmastodon

I see your ship, "Irma" and raise you the "Pasha Bulker", beached this day off Newcastle, NSW, during the storm in 2007. It was a big one.

About this time in 2020, I was in Duluth and got a couple shots of the Cyprus-registered “saltie” Irma, anchored and waiting its turn to load cargo.
