Propeller

Continuing toward the back along the centerline we reach the propeller around 80 meters from the bow. Most probably this was a spare propellor on the deck of the ship and not the actual propeller of the ship. It was placed by us at this location during 2007 when a large reconstruction of the quay wall went on and there was a risk that the propeller would be damaged or even gone. Before we replaced the propeller to this location it was located next to the quay wall as a reference point.

The propeller blades are about 2 meters in length. One of the blades is broken off and another one is also damaged but largely intact. Two other blades are comlete. Currently most propellers have only three blades and are made of copper or bronze. This one is made of iron.
