Oh, you’re from Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, or Minnesota? Okay, tell me where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours.

I got a little tired of drawing "businesswomen", so here are a LOADER and a POP IDOL

Edmund Fitzgerald is officially the first male ship I've drawn. I just can't deal with the fact that the boat with a male name is "she"

Icon of the Seas (ship itself) is overloaded, so I decided to give her a complex design. I tried my best... Did I do what I wanted? Probably

It was interesting to draw not only ocean liners, but different type of ships. I think I'll do it again later, just need to decide which ones

What’s your opinion on Pompeii then

tbh, i dont feel necessarily qualified to discuss the ethics around pompeii.

as i stated in the post, ocean liners and shipwrecks are one of my special interests so i know quite a lot about that kind of thing. ive watched a lot of interviews with survivors of wrecks or family members of those who died. this includes victims of titanic where family members have said they doont watch folks going down there to gawk at the wreck. there are also several shipwrecks that cannot be treated as tourist hotspots either because of respect for the dead or to avoid things like plundering or vandalism, like the fitz or the greek trading ship in the black sea.

because of all that, i feel that i know enough about the topic to speak on it and i will defer to what the survivors and the families of victims say.

im not that well-versed on pompeii beyond what most people know. ive never come across any discussion about it as a tourist spot or as part of "dark tourism', so my opinion is that my opinion on that matter is worthless.

if anyone who does know more about it, id love to hear what you think about it as a tourist spot.

FNaF 2 security guard:

I can't understand the Freddy Fazbear's pizza's management since I saw the guard's name for the first time. How did they even come up with the idea of hiring a ship?

I just found out that the Mariner’s Church in Detroit - the one that rings its bell 29 times every year to remember the sailors who died on the Edmund Fitzgerald - rang its bell 30 times in memory of Gordon Lightfoot
