The other day I was wondering if it was possible to ship directly from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic without having to sail around South Africa. Today my question was answered when I read this news about pirates capturing over $100,000,000 worth of oil in a tanker.
I’d heard of the Suez Canal before, but I didn’t know what it did, or where it was.
The Internet; fighting geographical ignorance one fact at a time.
