CL, Summilux 24

The CL handled the available darkness well @ ISO 6400.

II returned the next day to get some interior shots.

An unique vessel. Built 2006-2014, making use of old parts.

 

For instance, the windspeed indicator comes from H.M.S Ark Royal, the rudder indicator from H.M.S Vanguard. The captain's chair comes from ss Normandie.

 

Driven by a 3 cylinder 150 HP compound short stroke steam engine, and an auxiliary 8 cylinder Gardner Diesel, it is equipped for open sea up to sixty miles offshore.

 

Unfortunately I cannot afford to charter it for a few days, but here are some images.

The outside shot is by CL and 18-56, the interior shots by M9 and Super-Elmar 18.

 

I only was there for a short while, I could fill quite a few Gigabytes on board of the ship :)

A magnificent steam vessel and even better photographs of her.

 

An American asked why the Dutch were such superior shipbuilders and the Dutchman replied: "We put our engineers on a pedestal, you put your accountants."

 

A lot of truth there.

In this case, I must agree, the workmanship is exceptional.
