This vessel was the disposed by the admiralty marshal and broken up in lagos. It was my first experience in ship breaking - 2010 I have some pictures but not good enough to be uploaded

Hi there!
interesting story, but Fortune seems to be a very inappropriate name for this vessel!

A bit of extra research:

The ship is almost certainly the former Soviet replenishment tanker ZOLOTNY ROG which was last reported as the Nigerian flag AMOREX (and listed as such on Equasis). However, the following link confirms that the AMOREX was renamed FORTUNE and succumbed to a tragic fate not long after the photo was taken. See:

My word ! What a mess, but what a find too. There is a name on a plaque above the bridge which appears to read "Fortune" or similar. However, nothing matching the type/size/age comes up on Equasis, or my databases, with that as a current or ex name.
