The Vlieborg Passes By

I thought the next ship was a new ship to this blog, but it appears not.

 The Vlieborg is a saltie owned by the Dutch shipping company Wagenborg.

 I actually like these ships because they usually look like they are well cared for and that is rare for a salty.

 The Huron Spirit is catching up to her.  All non US or Canadian ships are required to have a Great Lakes pilot on them.  I think the pilots are more there for the ships to obey the laws and regulations of the Lakes rather than other roles.

 Like I said, these are pretty nice looking ships.

 For some reason, this bow reminds me of the late 1800's battleships or a galley.  I think it works better for saltwater ships.

 She is still being followed by the pilot boat.

One more, you can see the pilot boat at her side.
