Not an everyday sight

I wonder how this ship has navigated its way to Rotterdam? Where did it come from? I certainly would not have been on it in any rough weather. I think they travelled there going astern all the way as there is no way the bridge can see what’s in front.

Hats off to the engineers and deck officers who calculated the loadout.

We were in Bordeaux a few years ago and saw the bridge over the Garonne raised so that a cruise ship could reverse into it's mooring upstream.

Yesterday, in a museum, I suddenly found myself face to face with what looked like a cradle. Of the typewriter and the keyboard.
