Hudson, launched 1939, spent WW2 working for the British Ministry of Shipping, having left the Netherlands with a tow to Africa just before the Germany invasion and occupation. After the War, it towed to ports worldwide until 1963, when it was deemed underpowered and sold for scrap. Instead, it was purchased by a fishery as an ice-making ship, which it did until 1989. And again it was to be scrapped. This time, a foundation bought it, invested 14 years of restoration, and now, as a unique industrial artifact, it’s berthed in Maassluis.

@Robbie Cox: wrong name: HUDSON as clearly seen on the bow.
