On April 16, 2021, Unimedien captured video of the conveyance of the Disney Wish‘s bow featuring a covered Captain Minnie. The blocks were prefabricated at a shipyard in in Gdynia, Poland and are being transported through the Kiel Canal to the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
The following video shows the Captain Minnie section of the bow along with a look at what could be Vibe, if the ship features a similar layout to the Dream class and the winches for the anchor chains.
Also, we’d like to thank to Ems -Dollart Media for continuing to keep us up to date on the progress of the Disney Wish with the following video.
Special thanks to Unimedien for graciously allowing us to share the following images of Disney Wish upper bow.
