YES. THIS BOAT WAS ONCE 50.5 METRES LONG.
In 1973, she was lengthened by 14 metres.
Fourteen metres.
As if someone simply said:
“Make her quite a bit bigger.”
She reached 50.5 metres and 460 tonnes.
Now look at De Alliantie as she is today.
That is the same ship.
But this is where it gets interesting:
those 14 metres later disappeared again.
Why?
That story comes later. 😉
