In some way a strange looking inland passenger vessel, but maybe it attracts customers. She is designed after the likeness of a whale.

Launched under the name MOBY DICK (there is also a same looking ship on the River Rhine, also under the name MOBY DICK.) Most probably named after the whale Moby Dick in Herman Melville’s book.

She was special built for the lakes and canals in and around Berlin, and it is a very popular hot-pop moonlight dancing ship.
