Merchant ship "MÜNCHEN", Hamburg Docks - 1958
In July-August 1958, I was a participant in a Youth Exchange visit to Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Our group enjoyed a day trip to Hamburg which included: a boat trip around the busy docks and a coach tour to the zoo and airport.
Of these I found the dock visit to be the most impressive and awe inspiring, specially as we came up close to these rows of 'towering giants' moored in the numerous channels.
From the boat we could see bombed 'U-Boat' pens amidst other war-time marine wreckage still awaiting removal.
Our dock visit also included walking through the St. Pauli Elb Tunnel.
MS Munchen IMO 5243607 was a brand new freighter in 1958, having just been built by A.G. Weser of Bremen for the Hamburg-Amerika Linie.
Camera: Braun Paxette 1 (1953), Steinheil Cassar f2.8 45mm lens, Prontor SVS shutter.

Scanner: Epson V800 with Epson Scanner software.
