Hinky Pinky is a word game we used to play on long car trips... first as kids and later as parents with our kids. Here is an educational web site that explains the rules quite well. For our purposes here, let's stick to the 24-hour rule and winner posts the next Hinky Pinky.
(The last thread was not responding. Shell posted the last clue: Which hink pink begins a famous Address?)

Aww, dangit; that was a good one. I kept getting hung up on "cargo" and "carrier" for a hauling ship.
Hopefully this is enough of a clue to sow the seeds of an answer, but if it's not don't shout at me.
