Same place as in #746 - a later visit.

Ship no. 2 from left is the ferry to the island Samsø that is located in the Kattegat sea in approx. the middle of Denmark. Kattegat is known as a dangerous shallow sea to navigate in and the name comes from a medieval maritime jargon based on cat and gate meaning "a passage so tight that even a cat would have difficulty squeezing its way through."  (Wikipedia).

There is also a ferry connecting Samsø and Jutland - so a nice way to take a slow trip by ship in shallow waters between Zealand and Jutland with a visit to Samsø.

Thank you for the link.  I tend to be intrigued by the designs of specialized tools, vehicles planes and ships!

Good to know, strange boats are not unusual here in the Straits of Dover.
