“The cargo logo was first featured in this set on the two red cargo container and 6391 Cargo Center. It was succeeded by a logo in 6361 Mobile Crane with a single arrow. It was later succeeded by a logo with two curved arrows first seen in 6375 Trans Air Carrier which is... More still used today.”

“The ship featured a smart one-piece blue hull with grey deck areas, like the fire-fighter boat, it too has a stepped forepeak deck. The forepeak area features a mast with steaming light and spotlight. Forward of the mast is the windlass and winch mechanism together with a... More tool rack and bow roller.”

About Boats

The Boats theme was a LEGO System theme that ran from 1982 to 1996 and consisted of 12 sets. Unlike most town sets, the sets in the Boats, also known as Floating Boats, really did float in water. Initiakky the boats were made from single piece hulls but later sets introduced multi-hulled boats. After 1996 boats became part of the LEGO City theme.
