Here we have an excellent drawing of the Royal Rotterdam Lloyd ship MS Willem Ruys (1947 to 1965) later completely remodelled and recommissioned as the Achille Lauro (1965 to 1994). It’s quite a large picture which is only fitting because it’s quite a large ship with a long and wonderful history. She went round the world many times as a luxury cruise liner between Europe and Indonesia. Thank you to Rita de Heer for this picture.
