Here’s the index to all the preceding posts in this series, and I’m grateful to all for sharing.

If you suffer from perfect photographic memory, then the ferry in the middle distance under the bridge will serve as a clue to the location of this shot;  it’s a water bus, an efficient conveyance of passengers along the waterways that make up the Rhine delta in greater Rotterdam.  You saw it here . . . scroll through to the sixth photo. The tug in the foreground is Broedertrouw 4.

Tailing is Broedertrouw XIV.  And if you click here, you’ll see the same vessel towing what HAD BEEN the largest yacht to date built in the Netherlands, Symphony.  But in this series, you’ll see an unfinished project that promises to be 8.5 meters longer than Symphony . . . a full 360′ loa for this new project!

the unnamed, project number 714 for now. Oceanco is the manufacturer, and here are many smaller yachts.

The yacht does not move me, although I’d love to tour the project as the different specialized craftsman complete the job.

I’d love, however to work on these inland tugs for a while.
