On May 2, 2021, Unimedien captured video of the latest conveyance of Disney Wish‘s blocks, this time featuring additional keel blocks from the forward bow area of the ship. The blocks with 705, the Disney Wish hull number, marked in several places were prefabricated at a shipyard in in Gdynia, Poland and transported through the Kiel Canal towards the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
The following video shows the new blocks as they were transported through the first half of the Kiel Canal en route to Meyer Werft.
Special thanks to Unimedien for once again graciously allowing us to share the following images of following Disney Wish blocks including a better look at a portion of a superstructure element.
