Europoort

[Jan Hendrik]

Some nostalgia here.

It must have been 1961 or 1962, this is pier one at Europoort, first pier built for Shell.
I visited both vessels as a waterklerk (ships agent) and did the inward clearance of the SEPIA (Shell vessel) and also visited the RING CHIEF from Norway (built 1958).
Used my very first photo camera, Agfa Clack 6 x 9 cm negs.
The guy at the back of his car was my taxi driver. Company cars did not exist at the time.
Homeport of the SEPIA was 's Gravenhage which is the original name of Den Haag (The Hague).
