Hi folks! This freight ship here from Antwerpen, Belgium, is the greatest class of freight ships in Europe, simply called "Europa class". Ships of this class cannot pass the narrow channels, rivers and bridges in Berlin and eastern Germany, so I am astonished when I see something like that... The ship just has passed the bridge and the captain's cabin was put down; so in the moment the ship crawls blind, only with the radar and sonar up the Rhein. The cabin is down till the ship passes the next bridge far away, where a very sharp right curve begins. The right shore is only 50 meters beside, the streaming is low here and the ground with green grass is near..... The opposite side shows the old city core of Duesseldorf with its historic church and the "gate" at the far left side, the government seat of the province of "North Rhine Westfalia". The water level was acually 7,90 meters; the critical point is about 9,50 meters. Enough time to sleep well inside these old houses.... Thanks for your interest and for your comments for my older pics. Please feel free to send new one, every ctritics is wellcome. Have a nice day and take care. billcody
