Ghost fleet from my past

[Schraddel]

A second freightship, never completed:


Instead on an large hatch i decides to date back and made two hatches. Instead of the modern cranes i planned to built a conventional loading rigg.


The superstructure is only stacked loose to show how it will have look if completed.


The lenght is app. 85cm.
And in this case it will be a scale model of an "Kümo" (coastal trading vessel).

Can it be reality the Welland Canal was a little bit earlier enlarged before 1959?




A small coastal flat bottomed sailing vessel. This type was called "Schokker". This is a ready made all wooden model which was sold as souvenir. I decided it has the right size for H0.


At least a typical harbour crane.
"Portalwipplagerdrehkran" (Sorry i found no adequate English translation.)
