QUEEN BEETLE a JR Kyushu ship - high speed passenger jet ferry vessel in Moji |
The Queen Beetle unexpectedly passed thru the Kanmon Straits on April 10, 2022. It was photographed by Ship Freakazoid with an Olympus E-520 DSLR camera equipped with a Zuiko 150mm lens. The idiots that they are, JR Kyushu has the name Queen Beetle plastered all over the ship. The name they choose sounds more like rock bands than a ship's name, too. Oh well, ho hum, it was still fun to see it as it chugged slowly thru the Kanmon Strait between Moji in Garden Paradise Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki City.
