This One's For Ferry_DSC4778

Ferry @pyrrhula was interested in knowing the name of this old girl, so I went back today to get a closer shot of her.
@pyrrhula I went back today to get a closer shot of this boat for you.

Nice shot, originally built as the Solklint in 1956 in Delfzyl Holland I think for Swedish owners. The name Solklint is welded on under the name Lissa if you get close enough you can see it. I think some time in the mid 1970s she changed her name to Lissa then in 2009 renamed Lissa Solklint a combination of both former names.

@hobgoblin Thanks for that information. She is now regularly anchored in Cockburn Sound, just off Rockingham Beach.

A Big thank you dear Merrelyn. I thought I did reconize it as a typical Dutch vessel and indeed It was build by :Builder SANDER SCHEEPS EN REPARATIEBEDRIJf (Shipyard) - DELFZIJL, NETHERLANDS . On this warf my wife and Father in Law worked when I first met her. At those day`s I sailed those ships for 10 years
To the information of John. the year of build, it`s quiet sure my Father in Law has work to build this ship.

@merrelyn Dear Merrelyn. Do you mind I copy it and share it on a other side. A side of the town it`s build. ?

@pyrrhula I don't mind at all, Ferry.

@merrelyn Thanks. I already did. Bigger won`t be accepted. ( Like 365 only accept less than 20MB.) Got 20 likes in two hours.

@pyrrhula That's the only close up I have, but I can take some more. She is anchored away from the beach, so the view I get is limited. Were there any particular shots that he wanted?
March 18th, 2018  
@merrelyn He just ask for some more.
March 18th, 2018  
@pyrrhula Ok I'll see what I can get and then I'll email them to him :)

@merrelyn You`re to nice for this world. :)
