The Rio y Mar and Pappilon ( built as Frisiana -Aja M) alongside each other , moored at the dolphins outside the Locks in Delzijl.
It was very common that the ships would pan through the locks and wait at the Dolpins for several reasons.
e.g waiting for better weather, the tide or even because of sunday.The locks used to be closed at sunday ( those were the days )

A beautifull picture, 4 Denmarktraders together in the Fishereihafen in Cuxhaven.Most obvious is that the ships are seeking shelter for wind.Date is not known but will be around 1975

In the beginning of the Hamburg-Denmarktrade the ships used to sail together through the German Bight, as is seen on this video, made around 1977

Here two belgium hamburgtraders were sailing alongside each other in the German Bicht.Remarkable detail is that hatchcovers are open!Video made by fam.Oosterveen
