A ship is female, even when the lady got a male name. Therefore two or more ships of the same type are called 'sister-ships'. On this image you see the two sister-ships 'Prinses Maxima' (right) and the 'Prins Willem Alexander' (left), named after the Dutch crown-prince and his wife, approaching each other at the Western Scheldt, Zeeland, The Netherlands. The two fast ferries maintain a service only for pedestrians and bikers. Motorized vehicles have to use the nearby (at a distance of about 10 kilometres) 6,6 kilometres long tunnel to travel to the other shore. Hope you'll enjoy this post.
