Thanks for your reply, Mike! I have good memories about this ship. We (H. M. Gehrckens Hamburg as agents for AL/FAA) where inbound agents for Sydamerikalinjen end of the sixties at Hamburg. Ship came from Argentina with frozen meat, soja and wheat. Plenty of work: Grain elevators had to be ordered and cooling waggons for reefer cargo. She was a very comfortable ship. Harbour time spent one week. Have still a book with ships paintings of AL: http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160426/gqc74o5u.jpg
Have a nice day. Regards Peter

I come to tears when I see such a fine ship.Bygone times.

Volker - I'm glad you like this photo of a classic "Scandinavian" in such fine condition.
Photo could even have been taken in the 1960s - I really don't know.

Pha - thanks for your input here!
