We are two ship spotters and shipping enthusiasts from Germany.
When we started taking photographs of ships and maritime motifs in the early 1990s, we did not think that this hobby would fill our lifes in such a way. As often as we can we go to the major European ports and rivers to take photographs of merchant ships. Especially Rotterdam, the river Scheldt and the river Elbe are interesting spotting places. Today, we are working hours just to keep our database and photographs up to date. We found many new friends in the whole world with who we regularly exchange our photos and information.
Taking photographs of ships is not just a hobby. It is like a profession to us. We are not interested in taking photographs just to fill any lists of newbuildings. We are interested in the ships, their history, data, background and any information we can get about them, about their managers, owners and background stories.
