RED STEEL

Painted steel ribs shape the awaiting trade ship berthed in a calm sea.

Slowly, very slowly the pendant of the ship radar turns and, with hardly a lilt, the vessel rolls ever so slightly from side to side. With the ocean tides at bay, as she rests awaiting her turn to move to port. The winds had died down leaving the sea almost a varnished black. With the slight shadow reflecting her carcass, the sun baked from above.

On the open sea, the container ship is a majestic symbol of industrial might. Its steel exterior gleams under the sun's watchful gaze, while its massive hull cuts through the water with ease. From afar, it appears almost indestructible, but it is the cargo within and that it awaits that gives the vessel its true purpose. For the container ship, its journey may be a long and arduous one, but it is a journey that is driven by the promise of a better future, one that is built on the foundation of commerce, trade, and human connection.

This is red steel.

Boats Ahoy Collection

Welcome to the world and the wonder of our sea-faring vessels.

We explore various boats and ships, from out to sea to on land, where they rest after carrying us to places to do our travel. With centuries of service, they have transported us to new worlds, helped us discover each other as well as unknown wonders, and helped create a history of mankind founded on this form of transport that continues to this day in so many forms.
