- Summary
- Dutch shipyards have built a giant - the 210,000 ton super-tanker, "Melania". She was so big that they had to build her in two halves and then weld them together. That was only half the battle - getting her massive bulk through the North Sea Canal for her sea trials was as tricky an operation as any Salt has ever undertaken.
