  6. Beautiful photos and great memories for me. I remember a dinner in the Civitavecchia port, in early 80s, onboard the Irish Ship Le Aoife.

  13. Zo Bill, mooi nieuw schip hoor voor de marine. 'N hele eer om het schip daar in de haven te dopen. Hopelijk heeft het schip 'n goede vaart en telkens weer een behouden thuiskomst.
    Groet Kees.
