GHOST FLEET HAS DUTCH DAY

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 .
