At anchor today in Stumptown

Tied up and taking grain next to the Steel Bridge, the charmingly-named Epiphania, a Panamax bulk carrier of Panamanian registry. "Epiphania" is a Greek place name and is the root of "epiphany," one of the most overused words of recent years. It means "a striking manifestation," "a sudden appearance," basically, "showing up."

Hee, I love your ship factoids. It seems like ships change names fairly often huh? I wouldn't have imagined that.

I figure that as a key component of worldwide corporate greed, they have to change hands, and names, a lot. You know--to hide the environmental disasters and stuff.

Glad you enjoy the posts. I love it when there's finally a ship that has a bit of history to write about.

That's pretty cool history.

Yup. It's amazing, really, how many ships get into adventures. Most of them are of the "need rescuing" variety. This is the first "hero" ship I've run across so far.
