Bound for Guam, a ship containing building materials from Korea, was told to leave port immediately and head back to Anchorage, AK after it’s cargo area was found to have thousands of spiders aboard.

The Port’s Marketing Administrator Bernadette Meno said customs officers along with the vessel’s agent boarded the ship and gave clearance to the stevedores to go on board and unlock the cargo for offloading.

It was then that thousands of the critters were found.

“When our port stevedores began offloading the insulation and beams for the housing units on the docks they discovered that hundreds of large spiders and thousands of small ones were on the cargo and on the ship,” Meno said.

The picture below was taken at the scene of the haulted offboarding. I think we’d all be better off steering the ship off the mainland, and nuking that mother into oblivion. No amount of showers are going to remove the creepy crawly feeling I’m sure all the sailors felt when they heard about the little critters demons of hell that were all up in their business.

Yucky.
