Alk (IMO 5254498)

            Humber Bridge 24 September 1981
Built in 1962 by Dok- & Scheepsbouwmij. Makkum (yard no. 1) as NOORDBORG for E. Wagenborg's Scheepvaart- en Expeditiebedrijf NV, Delfzijl. Sold in 1975 to Gerrit Bruins, Jan Potkamp & Evert Hulsman and renamed AZOLLA under Wagenborg management. Sold in 1978 to Hendrik Harman Hazendonk, still under Wagenborg management, and renamed ALK. 
Ran aground at Wells-next-the-Sea on 28 March 1991. Declared a total loss and intended to be broken up at Bruges. However, it was bought in July 1991 by Dick van der Kamp Shipsales BV and sold on to Herman and Lidwina Klaassen and renamed CASPER for use as a houseboat at Zaandam. Dick van der Kamp bought the vessel back in 2009 and renamed her NOORDBORG with the intention of returning her back to her original state. Her original masts and derricks have been replaced and the vessel is currently lying at Ridderkerk.
Scanned from an original monochrome print.
