Kölsch Icon Set – Moby Dick
This is the first shot of a personal project that i started to celebrate my home town Cologne - it will be avaible as a free Icon Set soon.
Here's the story to this little fellow.
On May 18, 1966, a few Rhine skippers reported a white whale in the Rhine to the water police. They reacted by first making the mariners take a blood alcohol test, which came up negative: there really was a huge ass white whale swimming in the Rhine 300 kilometers from the ocean and thousands of kilometers from the his usual habitat in the arctic waters. There is still a silly tourist boat called Moby Dick travelling between Bonn and Cologne that is inspired by this story.
