Photos for Anton

Anton wanted to see these photos of when the Anastasis crashed into the dock in 2004 in Benin:

Above: the crash. Photo taken by Christophe Baer from the Advance Team (and CDS).

Above: damage to the dock (hardly any).

Above: damage to the Anastasis. The bow was broken, and the forepeak water tank torn open.

Above: men from Ghana came to repair the ship.

Above: Captain Jay surveys the work once the damaged bow has been removed.

Above: a new bow has been welded into place. A beautiful job!
