Hi John,

- WERDENFELS (DA DE; +???)
- WALLENFELS (DA SHI QIAO; +1991 ALANG)
- WASSERFELS (DA CHANG ZHEN; +1991 CHITTAGONG)
- WILDENFELS (DA JIN CHUAN; +1992)
- WARTENFELS (NEPTUNE TOPAZ; SUPANYA; DRAGON BANGKA; +1996 ALANG)
- WEISSENFELS (NEPTUNE ZIRCON; PAITHOON; DRAGON BINTAN; +1995 ALANG)

Thanx for posting this pic!

Thanks for the comments. One of my better early attempts, such a shame that in my youth I had to conserve film so let many like this slip by :-o She is just taking on the river pilot, who can be seen at the top of the ladder.
Happy days!

Beautiful shot of this Bremerhaven built vessel. Great!!! (10)

Great ship, pretty good composition, I really rate this shot well.

Cheers

Beautiful photo of yesteryear when COSCO were still using breakbulk ships.
