General Cargo Ship COSMIC ACE in the Kanmon Straits

The general cargo ship COSMIC ACE recently sailed the Kanmon Strait between Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu Japan. On a hot and muggy afternoon on July 28, 2024, Ship Freakazoid captured this vessel on digital "film" with both an Olympus e 520 DSLR camera with Zuiko 150mm lens (photographs) and a JVC Everio GZ-E265-N video camera with Konica Minolta 54x zoom lens (video) for your viewing pleasure, reference, or whatever it is you need it for.

After some business in Japan and then Korea, Cosmic Ace is now headed to Long Beach, California USA, perhaps in search of California Girls at Surf City, where the girls are two to one. And, yes, Ship Freakazoid is also a Jan & Dean and Beach Boys freakazoid!
