Cranes On A Cruise


Crane #9 North Sea, Northern Hemisphere, Northlandia

Did we mention that sometimes even cranes think, "screw this, I'm going to see the world". 

?

Possibly not. They're not the hard-working, order-taking bastions of servitude we usually assume. No, cranes are complex beings that need their breaks as much as you or I. 

So they book their time on a cruise ship and lazily mill around the ocean. There's not much room to move, obviously, and attractions while on-ship are limited. 

But the chance to be free, feel the sea breeze in their hair... they do rust, so they apply daily rustscreen. 

And just look who's doing all the work - the tiny boat out in front, towing with a piece of string. He's the true hero here.
