Here was part 1 of this story about the ill-fated Baltic Ace.
Jan Oosterboer took these photos in the Waalhaven portion of Rotterdam harbor.
Tugboat Viking barged these parts to Waalhaven on July 2.
Can you recognize the make of car?
Click here to see this model out of the water but in workable condition. The automobiles were Mitsubishi, 1414 of them.
Thanks to Jan Oosterboer for these photos, sent by Fred Trooster.

Cougar Ace, another one of those tom fool steel windjammers went on shore at Rehoboth DE in the State Park during Sandy. Seems to me that building a single screwed motorized barge like that, without the ability to maneuver is a mistake. But in Baltic Ace’s case seamanship questions arise. Did they have the alarms on their radars? International Rule 6 applies. Somebody surely had their head up their wazoo!
