Antwerp Shipyards

from Provincial Archives of Alberta

• Jakko Westerbeke said:

  This is the port of Vlissingen, on Walcheren in the Netherlands. The ship in the distance is construction number 214, the later MS Willem Ruys that eventually became the MS Achille Lauro — en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Achille_Lauro The photo was likely taken in November 1944 (probably early that month), as Donald Carson was on Walcheren at that time.

• Jakko Westerbeke said:

  Approximate location is 51.4443° N, 3.5830° E, and looking west.

  Amazing picture! It looks like a painting.

• Jim Rees said:

  At 800 years, Antwerp's oldest building. Still looks about the same but I think they've replaced the parapets.

  A beautiful shot. I really like these old photochrom images

• aware health said:

  A more recent view of the same cathedral: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OLV-Kathedraal.jpg My understanding is that Antwerp was severely damaged during WWII -- the recovery is amazing, unless this isn't in the damaged area. (In that case, the preservation is equally amazing!)
