PBB 2

PBB means “place beyond belief.”  I knew immediately what this was, although I’d never expected to see one afloat and amove!  Know it?

The translation here is literally “grain sucker.”  Click here (scroll to pic 5) to see a WW2 era floating grain elevator operating in the sixth boro.

Here’s power lifter Matador 2 towed by 1964 Pieter L.

Here is one of the most amazing things I saw, a floating vacation boat for the sick and handicapped!!  Click here for more pics.

Al-Bahar, a brand new self-propelled cutter suction dredger manufactured in the same locality as

this 250+ year-old technology.

Eurogas and

a short-sea container ship, one of myriad.

Vessel Terra transporting Mercedes vans.

Ark vessel name is Reinwater, but I’ve no explanation for the model sturgeon on the bow.

The Dutch word for bicycle is “fiets”  . . which makes this Babette’s fiets, kinda sorta like this movie.

A floating refueling station with a great name.

An oil spill clean up vessel outbound under the Erasmus Bridge.

Kapitein Kok or Kapitein Anna . ..  another amazing restoration.
