Description:

A Neptun 421 standard design, this was already the third time that she was named ERATO, in spite of the suffix II. Delivered as HANS KRUGER, whose initials are still visible in the funnel markings, she was typical German tramp ship, suitable for a reasonable container load. In total she carried 12 (not all different) names, before being broken up in 2002 as SPICA at an unknown location.
