In January 1981 Esso Nederland BV, decided to buy the Bridge-part of the "Esso Port Jerome" from a Dutch scrapyard
in order to create a training-room for the Rotterdam Boy's choir. In three parts the bridge was transported from the yard
to the city of Rotterdam where it was accomodated just in front of the central station.
The Esso Nederland donation was officially opened on October 15, 1982.
