I remember suddenly spotting this lovely coaster among other modern ships in my hometown in summer 2006! The only difference between her at that time & her on photo was original red masts present, otherwise - same well-maintained condition!

person

Hi Denis, you are absolutely right! I just searched for all Saturn-photos and sorted them "Oldest first". Always looking fine! And she quite busy, not a museum ship, but sailing all around northern europa without long breaks. Frequent user of the Kiel-Canal. Let's hope that she will continue furtheron for long time...
Have a good time, Hilmar

person

I imagine the hold being opened/closed just how it was back then throughout 58 years!

person

Thanks Hilmar!
Compared to the all-too-familiar colours and shapes of today's northern european shipping scene, the Saturn always strikes me as a cheerful splash of colour.
All the best,
Stefan

person

Hi Stefan,
I totally agree - especially in the grey, colorless winter when there is no snow! So let's hope that the spring is coming soon... best wishes, Hilmar
