Notes |
|
Originally built as a passenger ship and ferry for the Danish Steamship
Company on Bornholm, officially named HAMMERSHUS |
|
In
1970 it was proposed to fit the tender with a helicopter flight deck and
hangar. The proposal was not issued due to consideration upon the expected
lifetime of the tender |
