Dropping lines in 5 minutes.

So here's that pop quiz; The "R"-class vessels of which Volie is one, should actually be divided into two separate classes. What's the most distinctive difference?

Winner, not surprisingly! Rotterdam and Amsterdam have twin funnels, while Zaandam and Volendam have a single funnel

Does the second funnel serve a purpose, or is it like the fourth smoke stack on the Titanic

[lka1012]

It looks like lines are dropping

[Vict0riann]

I wonder if that missing passenger arrived in time to board...

[erewhon]

Departure toot.

[Scrapnana]

Volie wasting no time after Infinity.

[Scrapnana]

Three long toots from Infinity.

[rafinmd]

Long toots from Infinity.  Is this the ship that took out the dock in Ketchikan?

I see that Volendam is on the move.

 

But I doubt if I can stay to see her in the channel and tooting.  Got to get dinner started.

[Scrapnana]

And a few extra short ones.

[erewhon]

3 long toots from Infinity.Plus extras.

Would have to do a little research on that; the classic Rotterdam V had twin side-by-side funnels also

[Copper10-8]

Good look at her spare anchor (in black) on her bow in the center, encased and secured against her super structure

[Scrapnana]

Not a whole lot of people out on deck.

[Scrapnana]

Early toot.

[Copper10-8]

That was a "get out of my way" toeter
