During World War II the ship "Elandsfontein" was being built in the Netherlands. The Germans have transported the body to Germany. In the harbour of Danzig the ship was sunk. Now it has been lifted and returned to the Netherlands to be completed. SHOTS: tugs tow the body into the harbour of Vlissingen; the ship moors and lies by the quay at the shipyard.
