These aerial photographs of the ultra deep water drilling ship Noble Globetrotter II were taken in November 2012 in the Wilton harbor (Huisman yard), Schiedam. The top series was taken on November 22nd. The drilling tower was just fitted on the ship by HLV Rambiz, but when I arrived, the job was done. The images below these were taken a few day earlier when the drilling tower still was on the quay.

These images were taken by a camera lifted by a kite.
