Issued by Coeur in Germany. This is a Poker sized deck with 52 cards + 3 jokers. The cards are 5.8 cm x 8.8 cm. Publicity deck for DSR, Deutsche Seereederei Rostock, an East German sea-going shipping company. Drawings by artist KLAUS ENSIKAT that relate to sailing and the city of Rostock. On the Aces are sea monsters. The harbour is the heart of the maritime city of Rostock. Although there may be fewer sailors on the quayside these days, the harbour still shapes the character of the city. It is the largest city in the north German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and located on the Warnow river; the quarter of Warnemünde 12 km north of the city centre is directly located at the coast of the Baltic Sea. This is the second deck illustrated by Klaus Ensikat for DSR. The first was made in 1976 and featured figures all reflecting the city of Rostock & its aspect on the sea.
