Old general cargo vessel Bleichen, bt. 1958, gt. 2129, in the port of Hamburg on 28.5.2007

This nice old Lady was in service since January 2007 as "Old Lady" for Old Lady Shg Co.
Before she traded as Arcipel (1979-1993), Canalgrande (1970-1979)and as Bleichen (1958-1970) for the German Company HM Gehrkens.
She was built by Nobiskrug GmbH at Rendsburg.
Now she is lying at Bremer Kai Schuppen 50 B to be prepared for an active museum Ship veteran. The actual owner ist "Freunde des Stückgutfrachters MS Bleichen e.V.", a non profit organisation with the goal to preserve the vessel.

Dimensions: 93,4 * 12,3 * 4,7 m

I saw her first in 2005 in the Bosphorus.

The ship is open to be visited and hopefully will make tours in the north sea area soon.
