Those burned out sides, yeah, that was ship steel.
Regarding the earlier discussion about the ship not being full because of how high in the water it sits, I can attest that it was likely full. I’ve boated behind one of those Wallenius ships as it cruised down the Chesapeake Bay and it was mind boggling how huge they are. From the rear I could see the decks of cars and I couldn’t even begin to estimate the number. |
