I see, thanks! I'd say they looked much better than the "combs" of today...

Vlad, remember the freeboard of the TRIO Class containerships from the early Seventies? Nothing new under the sun here.

Thanks for you comments.

Bjørn, thank you for adding this data for a proper comparison. Just to add main dimensions: "MSC Apolline" is 400x61 m, while "Delos" is 336x60 m.

Pieter, I agree, but even in this "unnatural" scene it can be seen that the freeboard of the container vessel is twice as high as that of the tanker...

Cheers

Vlad

Perhaps the perspective works a little better when both ships are in the water....
