Description:
Again, sorry for the quality. Scanned from and old 35 mms grained hard copy. I did my best, but no way. If I can do something with the original 35 mms negative (bad shape) I will replace it. Hope the Shipspotting administrators accept it because its the second one in the database with this name (anyway up to the administrators, no problem) Aft. view.

I saw her just once, partly loaded & anchored off Rotterdam, about 1978/1979. I was on a fully laden VLCC & remember we had to enter the approach channel by passing around her at a reasonable distance, & feeling 'small' by comparison. Grear shot, great memories.
Gracias amigo,
Rick
What an awesome width - 69 metres - & loaded draft of 23 metres
