A Close up at Cargo Container Lock Lift Mechanism


Today the webcam took a position lower down on the cargo ship and I got a close up view of the actual metal containers . I feel like a mechanic or engineer looking at these contraptions . They have fascinated me for a while now as they are in integral part to actually allowing the container to be lifted .. still don’t know what they are called but I am quite happy for now to just observe and absorb

Making sketch notes for later illustrations. When one is totally unfamiliar with a subject it’s easy to get technical details completely wrong in an illustration .. It’s not easy to find out what these particular fixture holes are called — anyone ??? But I enjoy the process and am hoping to take it slow enough to figure out some basics
