Seawise Giant
Seawise Giant, later Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, Knock Nevis, Oppama, and finally Mont, was a ULCC supertanker and the longest ship ever built. She possessed the greatest deadweight tonnage ever recorded. Fully laden, her displacement was 657,019 tonnes (646,642 long tons; 724,239 short tons), the heaviest ship of any kind, and with a laden draft of 24.6 m (81 ft), she was incapable of navigating the English Channel, the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal. Overall, she was generally considered the largest ship ever built. She was sunk during the Iran–Iraq War, but was later salvaged and restored to service. She was last used as a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) moored off the coast of Qatar in the Persian Gulf at the Al Shaheen Oil Field.
The vessel was sold to Indian ship breakers, and renamed Mont for her final journey in December 2009. After clearing Indian customs, she was sailed to, and intentionally beached at, Alang, Gujarat, India, to be broken up for scrap.

Nevis /ˈniːvɪs/ is a small island in the Caribbean Sea that forms part of the inner arc of the Leeward Islands chain of the West Indies. Nevis and the neighbouring island of Saint Kitts constitute one country: the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Nevis is located near the northern end of the Lesser Antilles archipelago, about 350 km east-southeast of Puerto Rico and 80 km west of Antigua. Its area is 93 square kilometres (36 sq mi) and the capital is Charlestown.
Saint Kitts and Nevis are separated by a shallow 3-kilometre (2 mi) channel known as "The Narrows". Nevis is roughly conical in shape with a volcano known as Nevis Peak at its centre. The island is fringed on its western and northern coastlines by sandy beaches which are composed of a mixture of white coral sand with brown and black sand which is eroded and washed down from the volcanic rocks that make up the island. The gently-sloping coastal plain (1 km (0.62 mi) wide) has natural freshwater springs as well as non-potable volcanic hot springs, especially along the western coast.

Warning Track (dj Premier Remix)
by: Nick JavasMiss Hip Hop came along and I remember
Like it was yesterday, how could I ever forget her
It was right around the time of the 18th letter
I was wearin a BRONX BOMBER when I NEW YORK MET her
If I had her phone number I'da RANGER
Or sent a couple TEXAS hopin she get the message
Let her know that there's nobody as bad as her
SEATTLE get you focused when you're planning on MARINER
And then came the school days In the park in the dark, like Toronto we BLUE JAYS
Ahh to be a kid again
Just get high and listen to the tribe like the INDIANS
Got more pot from our WHITE SOX
Made a short stop, then we're JIMMY ROLLIN PHILLIES
Then the rhyming started
And you already know, being a FLO-RIDA, MARLIN (I'm all in)
Munchies settin in, so of course you know
If I ran out of cookies, I just BALTIMORE ORIOLES (Bought more Oreos)
You know how the story goes
One word will make the paranoia grow
When somebody says "cops"
Without lookin I'm booking until my feet bleed, Fuckin RED SOX
Runnin like I saw a GREEN MONSTER,
Nosey mother waiting at home to catch me, had to DODGER
So to pass time I combined the sprite with the gin
Mixed in with MINNESOTA like a TWIN
Took it all to the dome
Then I had a BREWER maybe two and MILWAUKEE my ass home
Woke up in the morn', sun shinin on my face like DEVIL RAYS
So I thought I better pray
To ST. LOUIS, consuming all the Dewar's hard gin
Just seemed like a CARDINAL SIN
Cinnatti red bloodshot eyes
Feelin like I just died, I musta had an ANGEL ANAHEIM
Lick maneuver or a liquor remover because I may
Have to explain this puddle of puke to PADRE
So I say, "dad it was hairy as my PITTS
BURGlars and murderers broke in like PIRATES
And they punched me in the stomach
Took my pinky ring, I asked for the DIAMONDBACK but they were hearing nothing of it
And I'm BRAVE like ATLANTA, but these guys were GIANTS and NATS
The reason why I didn't try and attack
Then I guess just from seeing me stressed
He laughed and said, son like CHICAGO, I C.U.B.S.
At that point in my life, the road was ROCKY
Like COLORADO, but I gotta flow that's pretty cocky
Leavin' you stunned and I can't go back,
I've got my mind on my star like an ASTROS cap
Went from being a broke fan
To realizing on a track, I'm more ATHLETIC than OAKLAND
Fitted with A's since the ritalin days I spit it with rage, your just Nicolas Cage
And Nicholas' cage couldn't hold the eye of the TIGER
Like I was from the city of Shady and 5 Niner
Too live for the minors,
Earned many stripes by burnin plenty of mics, see cause I'm a survivor
Avoided more shit than toilet seats
Now I collect ROYAL-tees like I'm loyal to K.C.
This is a warnin track
But not the one in baseball
One that makes the greats all
Like damn
This little motherfucker got it
Started at the bottom
