Description

Shows New Zealand being lit by a huge lamp in the sky. Refers to the notion that because New Zealand sees the light first New Zealanders are adventurous. 'Everest' suggesting Sir Edmund Hillary and 'the atom ripe for splitting' suggesting Sir Ernest Rutherford are mentioned. Others yawn and snore and do daft things like driving a van across Cook Strait.HONG KONG's OOCL (Orient Overseas Container Line) has announced the arrival of the ninth of 16 panamax vessels with the naming the 'OOCL New Zealand' from Samsung Heavy Industries' Geoje Shipyard. "We are proud to name this ship the OOCL New Zealand," OOIL chief financial officer Ken Cambie said. "New Zealand might be a small nation, but its many achievements are remarkable, and it is a significant maritime hub for the Australasian region."
