Recently I've been invited to visit a river cruise boatin the docks, which was close to be completed. The boat is foreseen to be operating in Myanmar. The design of the boat is inspired by the old Mississippi River Boats.
It was quite interesting, and I guess I will not get a chance soon again to see a boat like that.
See here some impressions:
The ship yard
The river boat:
In- and outside the boat, still some work to be done:
 |
| Upper deck |
 |
| The Bar |
 |
| Bridge |
 |
| Everything hand crafted |
 |
| Anchor winch |
 |
| Engine room |
And here are some pics, how the boat was being transported to Myanmar. The boat cannot go off shore, it would not be able to do the journey on the ocean. That's why a special vessel was ordered which took the boat inside of his "belly" to transport it to his final destination.
