Nice photo of an intersting old freighter.
I saw her as Krivan in 1971 in the river Elbe.
Long, long ago !!

I have sailed Krivan in the years 1978-79. She was a nice solid and for its size a comfortable ship with excellent sailing behaviour. Speed 15.5 knts. Twin cabins on the small size, but adequate.
