On March 27, 2021, Unimedien captured video of the conveyance of two new Disney Wish‘s keel blocks in the Kiel Canal. The blocks were prefabricated at a shipyard in in Gdynia, Poland and are being towed to the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

The following video shows the arrival of the keel blocks in the late afternoon on March 27th in the Kiel Fjord (Germany).

Special thanks to Unimedien for graciously allowing us to share the following images of Disney Wish keel blocks.
