Wheelchair

[cublet]

Hello,

 

On Navigator of the Seas' maiden cruise to Europe (mid noughties), in Vigo the metal construction that you see in the above pictures was nothing more than a tower of wooden pallets.

 

The ramp was so steep that it took three crew to control the wheelchair - one at the back pulling on the handles and two at the front - walking backwards - pushing upwards on the arms of the chair.

 

Regards,

Our pictures show the ramp in Buenos Aires at it's lowest. When we came back to the ship after midnight it was nearly twice as steep.
