"This Joyousness and dispersion of thought before a task of some importance seems to prove that this world of ours is not such a serious affair after all." -Joseph conrad

ship noise


On a normal ship, out at sea, there is always noise.

On a normal ship, glued to the pier, there is always noise.

When the power goes out, there is no noise and below decks, there is no light. It’s not like being in a house without power, it’s much more intense than that.

It’s sense of missing.

Whenever you’re on a ship, underway or otherwise, you can hear it, the hum that I’d call the ship noise. When the power goes out, the ship noise is absent and you can feel it, right down to the core of you.
