Title: Non Soda but interesting- Post by: David D on December 16, 2012, 10:11:49 pm Has anyone seen anything like this before? Picked it up at an estate sale, pretty cool it must weigh 30lbs since it's 3/8 in thick.

I found this list here http://oceania.pbworks.com/w/page/26044519/Odense%20Steel and if I am reading the list right and the list is what I think it is it looks like the ship this came off of might have been the VIBEKE MAERSK and here is a picture of that ship.

Title: Re: Non Soda but interesting- Post by: David D on December 17, 2012, 08:12:11 pm Thanks for the info, I assumed this was off a ship but wasn't sure. When I google this ship it's pretty clear Vibeke Maersk was 1948 and #107. Again, thank you.

Sad to see the ship listed as "dead" in the registry.
