Apparently this model is classified as a passenger carrying vessel and that number is its registration number? ?;)

... Talking of numerical coincidences (sorry, nothing to do with the Graf Spee!) my 590's number (as supplied by HFM) is 1865. Now, that was the 5th boat model built by myself at my residence - house number 186...  spooky or what! :o
