The small Danish veteran cargo ship Saturn in Öresund today

One of my ship favourites, the small Danish freighter Saturn, was late this afternoon in Öresund on its way to Stettin. The weather was quite hazy, and Saturn sailed close to the Danish coast, so I was not able to get a very detailed picture:

The 54 x 19 m Saturn was built already in 1966, but it is still in active duty.
