Title: Voe Venture
Post by: hama on April 30, 2009, 10:29:16 pm

Hi!
I'm  quite sure I saw Voe Venture of Lerwick working in Stockholm harbour. Just got a short glimpse of her when passing with my car and recognised her from an article in Model Boats. What is this little boat doing so far from her home town?

Hm, they are quite similar. Could even be the other one but I think it was the Venture. I'm not sure if she's laying down pipes or if they are preparing for some tunnel works on the seabed. Guess I'll have to find out now that I started this!!
