Seahorse Express’ Post

I booked my ticket for the #Titanic Artifact Exhibition, which will open in #Brussels on 15 March. 🚢 The story of the Titanic largely sparked my passion for the #maritime world. In 1912, this ocean liner was state-of-the-art, but its designers were so blinded by their faith in technology that they claimed the ship was unsinkable. 🚣♂️ 🛟The Titanic disaster led to significant improvements in #shipbuilding and maritime #safety: 📍Stricter safety regulation (including the requirement for sufficient lifeboats). 📍Improvement of ship design (e.g. generalisation of double hulls). 📍Improvement of navigation and communication systems. 📍Improvement of construction materials (notably stronger steel). ⚓️Shipbuilding is a craftmanship based on humility and on the contiunous improvement of safety and performance. Nevertheless, the sea will always be stronger than mankind. 🌊 🔎More information on the exhibition here (RMS Titanic, Inc.) 👇

Do you still think that refrigerated trucks are for transporting perishables only? Here are some historical examples showing the importance of reefers for a seemingly unexpected industry as art and antiques🧑🎨: 🪙 King Tutankhamun's Treasures When King Tutankhamun's treasures toured globally, they needed climate-controlled transport to preserve their delicate artifacts. Refrigerated trucks provided the necessary environment, ensuring that the ancient relics remained intact, safe from humidity and temperature changes. 🖼️ The Salvator Mundi In 2017, Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi was sold for a record $450 million. Transporting this precious artwork required state-of-the-art refrigerated trucks to maintain ideal conditions, ensuring no deterioration occurred during transit. 🖼️ Rembrandt's Night Watch The Night Watch by Rembrandt has been moved multiple times within the Rijksmuseum and for international exhibitions. Each time, refrigerated trucks have been used to ensure the painting's stability, protecting it from any environmental fluctuations. ➡️ Reefer Van Network offers Reefer STL solution, which means small fast reefers, direct delivery without stops en route, and dedicated cargo space for your freight with precise temperature control during shipping.

The prime requisite for a gem is that it must be beautiful. The beauty may lie in colour or lack of colour; in the latter case, extreme limpidity and “fire” may provide the attraction. Iridescence, opalescence, asterism (the exhibition of a star-shaped figure in reflected light), chatoyance (the exhibition of a changeable lustre and a narrow, undulating band of white light), pattern, and lustre are other features that may make a gemstone beautiful. A gem must also be durable, if the stone is to retain the polish applied to it and withstand the wear and tear of constant handling.
