A California-based maritime news website, gCaptain (which also happens to sell T-shirts with the 150-year-old shipping icon known as the Plimsoll Line) has been threatened with a strange trademark lawsuit by another website known as Plimsoll Gear.

The owner of gCaptain, John Konrad, told Ars that this proposed litigation is “crazy.”
