The Germans were adamant: until he raised $475,000 to pay repair and service bills, Shipowner Hasim Mardin's precious tanker would not be allowed to leave Bremen harbor. For half a year the ship bobbed idly at the dockside. Finally Shipowner Mardin's patience wore as thin as his bank roll.

Last week he slipped into Bremen from Istanbul and in waterfront bars rounded up the 40 Turkish crewmen of the Raman, an aged (1917), U.S.-built tanker of 7,800 tons which had found its way into Mardin's small merchant fleet. Five of the Turks sidled on to a German tugboat lashed alongside the Raman, and kept the tug's nightwatchman busy with a merry prattle in Turkish and gifts of Turkish cigarettes. The rest boarded the Raman and fired up her wheezy engines. Within minutes, the tanker edged away from the dock, dragging the tug with her. "Achtung!" shouted the fuddled watchman. "Take it easy, old man," bawled a Turk. "There is nothing you can do."

Full Speed Ahead. Her lights blacked out, the Raman scraped a pier, narrowly missed ramming a smaller vessel, and set off down the River Weser with the tightly lashed tugboat still bumping at her side.

gruss holger

In majestätischer Einsamkeit dehnt sich das ewige Nordmeer.

Als erstes recht herzlichen Dank euch beiden. Wenn wir noch an Bord währen, würde ich zum Stewart rennen und eine Kiste Becks kaufen.
Holger auf dem Foto komme ich mit dem Ladegeschirr nicht klar.
Erst dachte ich aha ein Baum mit dem 1917 die Ladeschläuche an Bord gezerrt wurden.
Aber auf jeder Luke??
Ich suche mal unter dem Orginal Namen: GULF OF MEXICO
Danke
