Hi

My Uncle lives in Perth Western Australia and is involved with the Mining Industry there.
These photos were sent to him of one of the Iron Ore Carriers.
Its amazing what these ships can withstand out in the ocean.
Hope you find interesting

Sorry for miss informing all

footage, check out "Around Cape Horn"...a 30 minute movie shot in the 1920's by Irving Johnson who served on the 4 masted ship. He narrated it when he was 80. Absolutely amazing.

He shot while aloft in the rigging when he was a young man serving aboard that same ship. It brings to mind the saying they had "One hand for your ship, one hand for yourself". In that case; how the h*ll did he do that and manage his movie camera at the same time? Astonishing film.
Cheers
