In the movie below from min. 8:57 to min. 9.23 a quick view of the radio room.
After published this review I received an e-mail from R/O Hans Van Den Toorn:
Hello Alfredo,
Thanks for the video about the Texaco tanker.
In this case it is the Texaco Nederland which is made ready for a towing voyage to it’s final destination …the scrap-yard.
The video is in the Dutch language so I could understand what is was all about.
The radiostation you see in the video is of the 14000 HP Dutch deepsea salvage tug Smit Houston, which was one of the tugs towing the Texaco tanker.
I recognized the radioroom immediately as I sailed on Smit salvage tugs myself.
Picture of Smit Houston is attached. (published here below the video clip)
Those were the days my friend!!
