Overboard! Photo of an actual container spill, details and photographer unknown, via the Shelter Island Historical society. No one knows exactly how many fall off every year. Estimates range from the hundreds to as many as 10,000. Merchant mariners tell me occurrences like the above are altogether common. Record is the 407 containers the APL China lost on a single night (a few pics here). Anyone with more pics like these, I'd love to see them.
