Hi everyone.

I thought this was kind of interesting and decided just to post it here.  I
accidentally came across this website, which is called "Odyssey, The
Maritime Discovery Center."  On the webpage there is a description about a
Lego Maersk 12' long container ship...the largest one in the world (aka The
Maersk Sovereign).  Unfortunately there are no pictures, but it sure makes
one wonder.  I actually e-mailed the lady trying to get pictures, but had no
luck.  First of all, here is the link to the website:

Just scroll down about halfway and you'll see the Lego beginning.  SECONDLY,
I have also included a picture of the Maersk Sovereign container ship itself
in real life.

First, that ship would be insane to see in Legos.  Secondly, Lego actually
MADE that many light blue pieces?  Just think of how many light blue pieces
would have to be used to build that thing.  The website said the ship was
made from approximately 75,000 pieces.  That means that well over half of
those pieces were light blue.

Maybe someone in the Seattle area has seen it?
