Fact of the Day...

'More than 90% of the trade between countries is carried by ships and about half the communications between nations use underwater cables.'

The oceans have many uses....
A scary thought though, is how much of those trade products are lost through tipping off of the ships. Many people, myself included, use those huge containers to cart belongings from one side of the world to another, but I've seen too many pictures off them falling off the ships! People could have their belongings washing up on shores on complete different continents to where they expected, eek.
