Hi - it's Papenburg where Meyer shipyard is situated!

Morning Herman,
Unfortunately I didn't know you two years ago . . .

What do i see?!?!?!
You have been in Ostend and you haven’t give me a ring!?!?!😂😂😂😂

Hi Peejay, it's nice for me to have your opinion on the works that are shown in this forum, it doesn't matter if you've stopped your constructions.
Your opinions and advice, given your experience, are important.

Thanks so much Mike.
These photos are very useful and interesting to me (I wish I had more).

PeeJay, you have a very interesting life history. While I am in Canada, I will still say "thank you for your service" 👍

I didn’t need to visit harbors when I was younger, because I lived very close to the Niagara River, on which ships sailed past my street and could be seen further downstream. We also drove along the river into Buffalo, and sometimes through the ports in Lackawanna for the steel mills, and concrete and grain.

Also, many pleasure.craft, including Thunderboats, until they got too fast for the width of the river.

Many ports followed with service in the Navy and reserves.

Now beginning an extended break, as I have just had to give up my workspace because my long term care insurer suddenly decided to revoke its coverage. So I will continue to visit the members ‘ports’ and projects.

Hi Alessandro,
I'll get back to you on Sunday.

Hi Mike, do you have any self-made photos (to share here) of the Mercator you saw in Ostend?
I would be very interested in the lifeboats at the moment but in this whole magnificent ship in general.
