Note: I noticed that Dongjin Fortune was passing through the Kanmon Straits on August 13, 2024 and had hoped to get some new photographs and video footage, but got there too late. August 13th was the date of the huge fireworks display over the straits hosted by the cities of Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu. Wonder if any ships passed under the fireworks... Maybe next year.
