1971 Press Photo Carelessness Of Bathers On The Rhine

Carelessness Of Bathers On The Rhine (West-Germany): Every day......bather got to the Rhine at a risk of their lives!. Although Germany's highest and Europe's most congested river is famous for its increasing dirt many people are using it as "bathwater". The swimmers are very careless and don't think about the danger of life, they are in. For sure it is careless to go with a small motorboat behind a big steamer like the "Emerald" from Rotterdam etc. because ships of this size cause increedible waves which can become very dangerous for smaller boats. The occupants should at least wear life-jackets - for their own advantage.
