Odd i do not draw anymore but my last drawing was about one year from today in January 12 about Laurentic from a grand old book I had but no more.....

My Laurentic drawing was a boring drawing but i had to finish it with a half inch pencil and even smaller black coloring pencil within a half hour due to the fact i was getting kicked out of my apartment but i will always remember the cold smoking room i did this in because of no heat in early January.

Only ship I drawn never sailed as a HAL ship, I only drawn the Statendam that sailed as Justica but I did her in Cunard colors... I would say my drawings are more mechanical drawing then "funny"...

You could try contacting the book store at the maritime museum in Rotterdam, here is the site of the book store:scheepvaartboekhandel

I don’t know if they got a copy or if they could get you one. If you really want the book then I guess it is worth trying.

Thanks for the tip. I sent an e-mail to the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam today. I'll tell you if it works.

In December I was in the Dutch Maritime Museum in Amsterdam and did see a copy of that book in the showcase.

Thank you very much for your tips regarding the book on DEMPO and BALOERAN (author : Nico GUNS).
I have contacted all addresses you gave to me :
- the bookstore at the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam can't provide it any more (out of stock) ;
- the Donner bookstore in Rotterdam has plenty of copies of the new book on SIBAJAK (same author) but not of DEMPO and BALOERAN ;
- last but not least, somebody from the the National Library of the Netherlands I could reach from the site of the Dutch Maritime Museum in Amsterdam has learned from the publisher van Soeren (tel : 0031 20 644 64 58) that there will be a reprint of the book in about one and a half year.

So I think I'll wait until 2005 !
Thanks again to you all.
With best regards,
