"Holland" leaving port

Famous tugboat "Holland" (newbuilt in 1951) leaving the port of West Terschelling.
Here she was lying at staion, waiting for a job in mostly very bad weather for about 40 years.
Now sailing as a museum, maintained by a lot of volunteers and a small paid crew.
A foundation is helped in this by a lot of gifts and donations.

The main 3000HP "Werkspoor" engine has been completely overhauled a few months ago, but at low Rpm she produces a bit smoke.... :-(

Here she is at full speed.

Off course we went to the owls today and as we were silently going through the bushes we saw this owlet, watching us...
