#1437 Vienna Central Cemetery.
There is a memorial dedicated to Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, better known as Hedy Lamarr.
Her ashes were scattered in the woods.

My information was that the ship was in Papeete.

It happens sometimes.

It does. It was the Tug that told me it was Brest. No worries. Surprised Nick didn't name the ship. :thumb:

I out thought myself!
I knew that she was based in the Pacific (must bea terrible draft 😀)
But thought Sparkie would be smart, so went for the less likely option.

Sparkie2182 29th October 2022 20:20

Both craft are based in Papeete i found.......

As you say.....dreadful draft.

:)

Found this. Goes to show how you can be misled thinking all the vessels are based in one Port.

There's a pic online of the tug being placed on a low loader for shipping out to Tahiti.

One of the locations on earth which lives up to its reputation.
