What a difference from a modern dredger! Very interesting to see this model from 1951 Christian. Also a good assembly of the different parts of "God Protect". Yes God has protected that vessel!

The modern dredgers are much more effective, but the "Dieu Protege" was much more charming.
Nostalgia Christian! Perfect collage!
