Found this french website with many interesting photos of the marine world, ships, ports, cities in "Souvenirs de Mer". Even not understanding french it is possible to just enjoy the photos.

320 passengers, still in traffic, but can't break the thick ice wintertime in the Archipelago (Skerries) of Stockholm, Sweden, so She has to be out of traffic at that time. Storskar = "Bigskerry".

Hello Nils,

Nice pictures. I think every seafarer has had that kind of experience at some stage of his life at sea. I am saying this from personal experience. But life aboard went on. A few would get sea sick. The bridge watch keepers would be waiting to go off watch. The cook would still manage to give our meals (except the soup  ;D). The cabins would be in a mess with lots of things lying on the floor and it was no point in picking them up  :doh:

..... and when we reached port and moored, one would wonder if this was the ship that had rolled and pitched so much !!!
