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. (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
