Say hello to Miami's newest toys: giant marvels of containerized shipping. They just floated past Fisher Island. Like towering iron masts somehow propelling their ship forward without the help of sails, PortMiami's four brand new and so very mammoth gantry cranes have arrived in Government Cut today after a sixty day voyage from Shanghai. With these puppies, and the port's new deep-as-hell shipping channels, this town will have a port ready for the massive new Post-Panamax ships soon to appear on the scene with the expansion of the Panama Canal.
