Dong Jin Fortune a Korean cargo ship

Note: I noticed that Dongjin Fortune was passing through the Kanmon Straits on August 13, 2024 and had hoped to get some new photographs and video footage, but got there too late. August 13th was the date of the huge fireworks display over the straits hosted by the cities of Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu. Wonder if any ships passed under the fireworks... Maybe next year.

FATA MORGANA - Ship sailing in the sky near Kitakyushu Japan

Alright, so check this out! FATA MORGANA is this wild optical illusion that happens when you're standing on land, looking out over the ocean, and you see a ship that looks like it's floating above the horizon. It's not magic, though—it’s science at work. Fata Morgana - Ship sailing in the sky as viewed from Kitakyushu Here’s the lowdown. The air above the ocean is usually colder than the air higher up in the atmosphere. But sometimes, you get a temperature inversion where the air closer to the water is actually warmer than the air above it. This temperature difference makes light bend or "refract."
