Bottle 119 - Ostend Fishing Trawler

Date Added: December 13, 2008
A wonderful scene of a colorful Ostend fishing trawler leaving the port of Ostend to go to the fishing grounds. The trawler has a red bottom and black hull. The deck features a large red deck cabin and captain's deck. There are 2 masts, deck railing, several deck features, smokestack, riggings, lifesaver and more. It sails on a light green, choppy sea. The city of Ostend is in the background and has 13 colorful townhouse type buildings and a yellow walkway. When you look closely you can see the two black towers of the Ostend cathedral on the back of the bottle. At the end of the city are 2 long channel docks with structures on each. On the other side is an island with a tall lighthouse. The background is painted in a mixed blue with clouds about. The bottle is sealed with a screw top covered in a red plastic like coating.
