Reefer Madness!!!???!!!  The refrigerated cargo ship PACIFIC MAGNOLIA sailed coolly through the Kanmon Straits between the scorching cities of Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki Japan. No animals or pretend musicians were harmed in the photographing or filming of this vessel.

Pacific Magnolia is a refrigerated cargo ship (reefer) and was photographed as it passed through the Kanmon Straits of Japan on July 28, 2024 by Ship Freakazoid.
PACIFIC MAGNOLIA - Reefer in the Kanmon Straits of Japan

Despite the heat, there was a nice sea breeze and the buoys were bobbing and plants were swaying when the photos were taken and the video was shot. The video will not win any awards, but will allow you to see this cool ship making its way between Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki. An older JVC Everio video camera purchased cheaply at a second store in Moji was used.  Just in case anyone was curious...

FATA MORGANA - Ship sailing in the sky near Kitakyushu Japan

Alright, so check this out!  FATA MORGANA is this wild optical illusion that happens when you're standing on land, looking out over the ocean, and you see a ship that looks like it's floating above the horizon. It's not magic, though—it’s science at work. Fata Morgana - Ship sailing in the sky as viewed from Kitakyushu  Here’s the lowdown. The air above the ocean is usually colder than the air higher up in the atmosphere. But sometimes, you get a temperature inversion where the air closer to the water is actually warmer than the air above it. This temperature difference makes light bend or "refract." So instead of light traveling in a straight line, it curves and can make things appear in places where they shouldn’t be. Kind of like when you’re staring into a glass of water and the spoon looks all weird. It’s the same principle.
