A Collection of "Aw-Shits"

Links from the website of Countryman & McDaniel, International Trade Consultants.
Worth exploring, if only to make you feel better about your own awshits!

These pages are overly cluttered by a big chunk of duplicated stuff heading every page. Look at the lower left of the screen that comes up for a "Go directly to feature" jump link, if that isn't present just keep scrolling down to the story. 

Many of the stories have a lot of text that may not be of general interest (they are primarily involved in sea-transport business), but the pictures are excellent! (Although I note sometimes I had to right-click the picture area and select "show picture")
