Unique - same ship 5 times on Google

Ship goes down the Rhine- appearing 5 times on Google! It seems the ship had the exact same speed as the series of photos being shot, clearly from south to north.

These images would not be from the same pass.. The boat is traveling to slow to be in the same shot.

I suspect that the Aircraft has made several passes in a grid and the image has been stitched togeather..

You can see the different shading in the water at several spots were the image appears to have been stitch..

Good Observation though.
