Baltic Sea Shipping Company, Walter Ulbricht & the Cape Horn
Dear all,
I wonder what you know about the late russian Baltic Sea Shipping Company and whether some of its ships sailed from Australasia to Europe rounding the Cape Horn (especially in early eighties)?
Have you heard for instance of the Walter Ulbricht ?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Michael

# Doc: Thanks, I meant the 7348815 (built in 1974), not the more recent one.

# J.Sabourn: Walter Ulbricht was the East Germany leader in the fifties and sixties, before Honecker. That ship was thus named after him by his fellow Russian comrades.
