Adding colour to the Ghost Fleet which passes through Townsville , rarely noticed by the landlubber media , was the heavy lifting cargo vessel Poolgracht, above , and Danzigergracht , below , both flying the Netherlands flag . No doubt any reporter with a bit of old Dutch vim, vigour and courage, a drop of imagination could have boarded the ships and come ashore with a good yarn.
Our Shipping Reporter also reckons there could be a good story in that yacht which has been sitting on the bottom of the Townsville Duck Pond for ages .
