Ro-Ro vessel LIBERTY PROMISE in the Kanmon Strait passing by Shimonoseki |
This fine looking Ameican automobile carrier was photographed by Ship Freakazoid as it passed thru the Kanmon Strait between Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki Japan on the afternoon of March 18, 2024. Apparently, the ship makes fairly frequent journeys from Japan and Korea to the west coast of the USA. A small LS series Japan Coast Guard lighthouse tender can be seen in the foreground.

The trusty old Olympus e520 DSLR was used to photograph Liberty Promise as it sailed past the phallic tower of Shimonoseki City as it heads towards the Korea Strait, Korea, and then the American West Coast.
