Hi Ruud,
Greetings again and hope you are finding your way around the site now and finding enough stuff about ships!!.
Love to see more of the vessels you have sailed on, sounds as though you may have a picture/pictures of each one you sailed on..I certainly dont I am afraid and wish that I did. Still I have a few of interest and am just beginning to post them into the site...cheers..Doug

Ahoy Doug,
Yes, it took a long time, to collect the ships I sailed on, but it's complete now, and from several ships more than one picture, so that's a nice feeling the old memories, if I can help you to find some of yours, please let me know, I do have a "big" collection now[prox.100.000 pics by now 300.000pics]
cheers...and have a nice weekend.
