Walvis

looking to our Dutch friends for some guidance on this one - taken in Velsen, Netherlands, appears to be a converted Tug - now a houseboat?

Anyone have information on her?

    Received this information on her - wouldn't have guessed that she is a former Icebreaker!

    This is the icebreaker Walvis, built in 1949 for service around Amsterdam.
    It was seldom used as tugboat, private sold in the 1980/90's (?), now owned by a preservation society. More info on website:
