An Ever Loading List

So, the Evergreen ship, Ever Given, is wedged in the Suez Canal. This is to the detriment of everyone who was depending on that canal, but the great hilarity of everyone else. (Who will probably be experiencing knock-on effects later anyway.) People have noted the name Ever Given, and the similarity to Evergreen, and Ship People In The Know have mentioned that there are a number of such names.

In the interests of sparing Evergreen's hosting, I have scraped a selection of their ship names (the Ever section) for your delectation.

I saw a nicely understated comment on the situation: A screenshot of Evergreen's Wikipedia entry, with a list of ship names, and the comment "As a ship operator, your goal is to keep your Wikipedia link from turning blue."

Good thing it wasn't the Ever Forward. Pity it wasn't the Ever Safety.

I love these! The "Ever Dainty" and the "Ever Burly" are my new (ahem) ship. :D The "Ever Chaste" will just have to pine from afar.

Whoever named the "Ever Loading" clearly likes tempting fate too much, though. As well name it the Ever Parked. :P

Yes! :D And I thought sailors were superstitious...

I hope they didn't let that person name any more boats; what else would the come up with, the Ever Unloading, Ever Waiting, and the Ever Delaying?

One of the hazards of ships names is Asian companies grabbing names off word lists without checking the meaning.

A Singaporean shipping line decided to name ships using pairs of words off a Greek mythology list. This produced the freighter "Titan Uranus." They changed it a few years later. I presume the crew complained.
