Well known vessel, regularly trading to Rotterdam where I boarded her various times and I think to remember she underwent a drydocking at the Nieuwe Waterweg in Schiedam.

Hi Jan
Hi Jan, (and everybody else who reads these lines)...
It's a really nice photo that you have uploaded. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us. And thank you for telling us about your own contacts and experience with the ship, they are extremely valuable to hear about. I welcome your contribution and I'm hoping for similar from you and I would be very happy if your conduct could encourage all of us members to do as you. In this way, our little haven on the Internet becomes a real living, interactive and educational place to be on board in.
It's your / our small contributions and comments which quickens up the ships, the companies and their crews again. And that is very important, especially for those who did not live to see the time, the ships and the environment on board and in ports, as it happened and as it was lived at the time, when there were ports in the middle of any seaside town. And in the ports back then, there were always some kind of life going on and, not to forget the least, lots of ships, large and small in between each other.
There are lots of big and small stories to tell posterity about ... The story is experienced and lived well into the small details of the individual's daily life, not just by the great events of the time. Unfortunately, we tend to only report on the major events in history, they are also important, but let's not forget about daily life's little events, stories and history. Let us share them</SPAN>.</SPAN>

Thanks for your nice words Kent.
The diversity of the members, most of whom have a maritime background, have their own way of reporting their experiences and/or sharing their knowledge with all of us which makes it a pleasant and enjoyable site.
med venlig hilsen,
Jan
