My Dad sailed on Ellerman Line City Ships in the 1950's as a Cadet up to 1st Officer. So many great stories he had to tell of going all over the world. A wonderful time.
het zicht van linker oever zonder bebouwing was mooi om te zien. prachtige docu
Another time of maritime transistion. Today one 400m container ship with only 20 crew equals ?
The way we were, the good old days? Not a container in sight!
And good Mayors in Town Hall instead of the fascist that is today's Mayor.

Eén van de knapste (kort) films die ik tot hiertoe heb gezien van onze stad en de Antwerpse haven. Ook het commentaar er bij is zeer goed gedaan 👏😁 ik heb genoten van deze beelden van Antwerpen, toen het nog een mooie, propere en gezellige stad was. 🤩👍 ♥️
(One of the best (short) films I have seen so far of our city and the port of Antwerp. The commentary is also very well done 👏😁 I enjoyed these images of Antwerp, when it was still a beautiful, clean and pleasant city.)
Toen was het zeker nog gezellig, mijn vader heeft bij de VNS gevaren en zijn thuishaven was Rotterdam maar ging bijna iedere reis via Antwerpen naar Rotterdam 😊💯👍🏻
Joined my first trip to sea in Antwerp as a fresh faced 16 year old Kid.. my first night on board I was dragged ashore up to Skipper Straat and Danny’s Bar😮 had a great night and met a nice Lady!!! We ended up in a bar called the Luchtball I think, it was 47 years ago my head the next day was a mess and I got told by the 2nd Steward to man up!! Hence we all went ashore that night. My trip was 6 months Europe South America and the Great Lakes what a trip.. I’m still going to sea ❤ my job as Chief 🧑🍳
My dad grew up in Antwerp . In the 50’s . Similar to French culture . Was rich from Diamonds
Thanks for your feedback
Yes, the culture in Antwerp is related to French culture. French has historically been associated with the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. Antwerp was under French rule in the early 19th century during the reign of Napoleon. Some words in Antwerp slang find their origins in French.
And yes, Antwerp was and still is recognized as the diamond capital of the world.
Docked many times with Canadian Pacific (Beavercove) in early 60s
I sailed on a tanker to Antwerp in the early 1970s, going up the Schelde was very tense with an electrical storm raging.
What a beautifull cargo ship.
Elegant times.
Also then with cocain? Antwerp, the cocain capital of Europe... What a shame.
Cool. Looks like in 1953 most of the power was still steam. The ship made in Belfast, the harbor and ocean going tugs too.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, indeed.
"By World War II, steamers still constituted 73% of world's tonnage, and similar percentage remained in early 1950s. The decline of the steamship began soon thereafter"

And there are so few today. There is one steam turbine unit I see at the dock that makes an occasional run to Hawaii that is still a regular cargo ship here and then the fleet of historic ships still in operation. I hope to see one tomorrow on the water, the Jeremiah O'Brien, one of just a few Liberty ships left. She was the one that made the trip from here, San Francisco Bay Area, to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. Maybe by next year at Fleet Week the Steam Tug Hercules will join her. @@antwerpstories
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we also thought that this old movie deserved some attention.
