Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 29c Emlain stamp and First Day Cover issued February 15, 1992. Measuring over 900 feet in length and boasting a beam of nearly 150 feet, the Emlain is an impressive sight at sea. Named after former President Amata Kabua's wife, the Emlain was used to freight cargo in the world's oceans from 1989-1991 carrying an assortment of goods in her nine holds. Ships such as the Emlain have been sailing the seas as important links in the world trade for decades. Ore/bulk ships like the Emlain are especially important to countries such as the Republic of the Marshall Islands where air freight is costly and sometimes impractical. Image Size: 16 x 20 in.
