Binoculars Reveal Distant Ship at Atlantic Ocean Section

When it was her turn, she looked through them and saw a distant ship very clearly and much closer. She explained: 'We drove down to the first facility, called the Atlantic Ocean, where the dispatching and collection of crude oil is done. With these binoculars, I was able to view a very distant ship very clearly and much closer.'
