Wanna see where European cars come from?

So, now I'm bored and impatiently waiting for my CLE 53 delivery, and I wondered where's it coming from. It's the port of Bremerhaven Germany. Then I took a look at Google Maps and WOW!
There have to be more than 50,000 cars awaiting shipping on those big vehicle carrier cargo ships. Zoom in. it's incredible.

Do you see a Starling Blue one??? There's not enough resolution to pick out specific cars because I looked.

I really hate to think that my car is roasting on that dock waiting for a boat. Aaany day now...

You can see them close up if you do a Harbor tour. I dropped off my car at the port of Bremerhaven in 2019 at the end of my ED trip and stayed at the Atlantic Hotel Sail City at the southern end of the port. It's got an observation platform and the area you are showing is off in the distance. The hotel is shaped like a sail and a very nice place to stay and conclude my trip. Wasn't my first visit to Bremerhaven, though.

BTW, the building next to the hotel is the Climate Experience Center. Pretty cool to visit. You can experience different climates inside all the way to the North Pole. Just in case you ever get to visit.

At least it's not sitting in a Florida port like JAX in 90; plus, in direct sun with interior temps of well over 100'.
