A request to any Romanian member or members visiting for some high quality digital photo files of the wreck, have numerous people including myself who would like to see these, being Blue Star Fans.

Hi, Rick,
Unfortunatelly, the wreck seems to be slowly scrapped by the locals...
On her right side , many parts were removed and now there are very big holes.
