Containerization has ruined the international shipping industry. What happened to the days when a down on his luck fellow could show up at the docks and get a job on a scummy vessel and then sail the seven seas and get a big anchor tattoo and an alcohol problem. Then after 20 years of hard living you retire to some shit hole town in Maine where you creepy out the locals in the Pub with tales of how you totally saw a sea monster or some shit.
