another famous memory for me. I saw her on my first visit to the North - Eastsea channel at Kiel one year earlier in 1976. She was one of 2 old general cargo ships at that day. Find enclosed my photo also at shipspotting, but at much less quality. I had a small pocket camera at that time (lack of money in my youth).
