Poco's so folksy that they just naturally appeal to that romantic, simple soul that resides within a lot of us: you gotta like them just for their attitude of easy rollin' good country fun.

Rube Goldberg would have loved this yard. The six supertankers and ore carriers that it completes in a year come as close as any ships yet to being untouched by human hands. Tsu is a world apart from the shipyards that I have seen in Europe; it is cleaner and quieter and often seems eerily empty...
