Would be be fine to me, if those rakish ship designs would have a revival. In the 1950ies they were known i.e. as "New Look".

Ah, ship's aesthetics then... :D

Denis, the streamlined look was all the rage for many things in the 1950s and 60s. Ships were no exception and such rakish designs were commonplace. European builders produced many fine looking ships like this with curved, raked bridge fronts. Lots were German-built - coasters too - though this is a Finnish-built example. This is perhaps a more pronounced raked bridge-front, but still exhibits the same basic concept. In reality, the windows were probably low enough for the crew too see out perfectly normally, though it might appear that they are 'looking at the sky'.

Yes, I did notice such bridge on a number of ships from that time but still it's interesting to know why "looking in the sky" was important, unless it had to do with a little bit of ship's aerodynamics?

Just a variation of a bridge design most 1950s/60s ships had, I would imagine.

What's the reason for the bridge front to lean backwards?
