Hi Carl,
thank you for posting the link to Family Pepers' homepage with those photos Mr. Peper's beautiful ferry models.
They are indeed pieces of great workmanship of scale model ship building from scratch with great attention to detail.
Only thinking of all those windows they must really have been prone to lose one's sanity while cutting, honing and framing them.
Compared to the maddening Sisyphus toil Mr. Peper must have gone through completing this model reconstructing an approximation of PRINCESS SEAWAY's ex PETER PAN's hull lines from the Hansa article with her description was nothing but a snap rendition in DELFTship.
When the ship was still servicing the Travemünde-Trelleborg route as PETER PAN I had seen her many times either calling at or leaving Travemünde during my frequent summer holidays at the Lübecker Bucht.
But I have to admit that from an aesthetic point of view I was never that much fond of her, for I feel that she is too squat and squarish with that enormous box-like superstructure.
She has a pronounced bulb and extreme flare in the fore ship.
For those of you interested in the complete (unfortunately only in German) article from Hansa, from whose accompanying small general arrangement plan I approximated her lines,
I have posted it
here.
And
here are the hydrostatic particulars by DS for an assumed design draught of 6.5 m.
