Sparna

Passing red to red, or port to port if you like with the gear bulker Sparna. For the land lubbers, the colour of the port lantern is red, and it is the most common way to pass a meeting ship, on the port side that is.
If you are still wondering wtf is going on port side is the left side.
I did a bit of a touch up in photoshop.

  2. It’s the side with the red light always! And they even paint red on the port side to help ex- sea scouts!
