floating on water

It sounds silly, but I really love container ships. I find it so amazing how they look like huge rectangular boxes yet they still manage to stay afloat, and I know its all to do with displacement of water but I prefer to think of it as magic.
Catching the ferry to work and back every day means I get to see most of them sitting at the port (and also get to see some sweet sunsets at this time of year), my favourite are the Wallenius Wilhemsen ships because they sound so Scandinavian and because they look so much like they shouldn't be floating.
