Crow's nests appear in Egyptian reliefs as early as 1200 BC and on eighth to seventh century BC representations of Phoenician, Etruscan, and Boiotian ships.[3] The crow’s nest disappears completely from depictions of ships after the seventh century, although the relationship between a raised vantage point and better visibility continued to be well understood. Theon of Smyrna wrote that by climbing the mast of a ship, one could see land that is invisible to those on deck.[3]
The first recorded appearance of the term was in 1807, used to describe Scoresby Sr.'s barrel crows nest platform.[citation needed] According to a popular naval legend, the term derives from the practice of Viking sailors, who carried crows or ravens in a cage secured to the top of the mast. In cases of poor visibility, a crow was released, and the navigator plotted a course corresponding to the bird's flight path because the bird invariably headed "as the crow flies" towards the nearest land.[4] However, other naval scholars have found no evidence of the masthead crow cage and suggest the name was coined because Scoresby's lookout platform resembled a crow's nest in a tree.[5]](https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/227/659/493/705/628/original/0ac603c9f71e8454.png "Screenshot of Wikipedia entry

#Trump wants to build more container ships in the United States. It’s not so simple. -
“Container #ships normally operate like waterborne buses, making scheduled stops at multiple ports along a coastline.
But facing fees that might reach $3.5 million for each stop, they would probably choose to unload all of their cargo in just one place, such as the Port of Los Angeles, executives said.”
