In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping in the Merchant Marine. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on my six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal; giving the viewer a glimpse into the life of sailor in the modern world.
