Powered by twin 1,250 CV Werkspoor diesel engines geared to a single driveshaft, she operated as one of Europe’s largest and most capable rescue tugs. Following years of service with the \u003ci\u003eSociété de Remorquage et de Sauvetage du Nord\u003c\/i\u003e, she was decommissioned at Dunkirk in January 1965, sold to Dutch operators in July 1965, and rechristened \u003ci\u003eThe Utrecht\u003c\/i\u003e under the world-renowned Wijsmuller fleet. Her storied four-decade career later took her to Greece as the \u003ci\u003eKriti\u003c\/i\u003e in 1977 and ultimately to Honduras in 1993.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThis special Heller twin set model kit gives hobbyists the unique opportunity to recreate this historic vessel across its two most famous operational eras.
