Shipping containers, and the ships that carry them, are some of the most overlooked yet essential parts of the modern economy. They are the lifeblood of physical industry and trade. Without them, we would be highly restricted in what we could transport, how much we could move around, and where we could take things.

Consider for a moment just how much of what you have was made or at least partially made overseas. Practically all those items came to the country via shipping container on a container ship. Shipping containers move 95% of worldwide cargo.

In this series I flew my drone at mid-height to capture an unusual perspective of these stacks of containers in an attempt to challenge viewers to think that this is a scale model of a seaport.
