Very interesting; if you would like to receive high res scans of my photos of STURMFELS passing Rozenburg, inbound for Rotterdam on 23rd March 1975 - and also an improved scan of her as ORANTUS - please send an email to me at [email protected]

She was a training ship for 50 cadets (35 nautical and 15 technical). I sailed on her in 1977/78. Great experience! It was the best time of my life. We sailed between the east cost of the USA an the Persian Gulf.
