The Amandine (1960-1962) is Ostend's last Icelandic vessel. Once the Icelandic fleet numbered more than 80 ships, but in some 65 years some 25 perished. From 1974, this ship went fishing in the North for cod, but also haddock, red gurnard, red sea bream and plaice, among others. The Amandine is in dry dock, so the ship can also be viewed from below.
