shopping, sightseeing, or whatever while the ship is being loaded or
unloaded. Children attend boarding school, and can be "home" on weekends.

Great picture -- anybody want to guess how they get the car off the
boat and on the road? Yes, I do notice what might be a crane arm,
but not sure it is used for the car. Hal

Depending on where they dock, it may be possible to drive off a ramp,
that's moved onto the ship. The crane could be used to lift it off, as
well as lift those covers off the cargo. These ships usually carry
coal, and a lot carry sand, as many places along the rivers, are
creating beaches for camping areas being developed.
