Mid morning on the 30th July 2022 I was on-board the SS Shieldhall at the start of a cruise to observe some of that days yacht racing at the Cowes Regatta. Shortly after Shieldhall's departure I was fortunate to see and photograph the Bulk Carrier (Bulker) Praetorius. The 17018 Gross Ton Praetorius was built in Japan in 2008 and originally named Demetrios Polemis but was renamed Praetorius in 2009. When this image was captured she was Registered in the Marshall Islands with the Home Port of Majuro. This image shows Praetorius at a berth in Southampton's Western docks working a cargo which I believe was sand.
