Well Richie, that’s certainly a ‘big’ ship there.
However, one sidenote: The name should be ‘Dodelijke Klompschoen’ (notice
the extra e) I am not exactly sure what the name is supposed to mean since
‘Klompschoen’ is not an existing dutch word. ‘dodelijke’ means ‘deadly’,
‘schoen’ means ‘shoe’ but ‘klomp’ has two different meanings: ‘Clog’ or
‘lump/slug’
So the tranlation should be: ‘Deadly Clogshoe’ which is quite silly or
‘Deadly Lumpshoe’. That sounds just as bad in my opinion......

Hey, Robert....
How about:
Klompschoen = Doc Martens :-)
