I've been playing one of the NY ferry missions this evening and noticed a nameplate WILHELM BRUHEN underneath the wheelhouse of the NY Big Apple ferry.

What is the significance of this name?

(According to Google, Wilhelm Bruhen was a German inventor who came up with the taximeter, which automatically recorded the distance traveled and/or the time consumed, thus enabling the fare to be accurately measured).

Might be an easteregg of the dev's. If you look closely you can spot the names of a few dev's on a few vessels 

The Vermaas is a very nice example

What,  "No Smoking"  underneath the bridge?  

Is it "De LEEUW GPS" on the domed radar? (at both ends on the top of wheelhouse)

[Ballast]

Yep the GPS is one, but Vermaas is the last name of one of the dev's  Sigita works at VSTEP HQ and the name of the virtual owner of the jack-up rig is also one of the dev's
