Hi Jadran,
greetings back to you and your city!!! I think it's a good place for ship spotting. Me and my family spent two nights on an old ferry, now a hotel, at the harbour. That's the best place for a "photo safari". Relating to the category i can change it into "museum ships" like the other posts, but in my opinion a "museum" must be accessable for people and the "Galeb" is locked behind the harbour gates. So i had to take this picture with a little bit climbing through a wall and a fence.
Best regards to all of you,
Carsten

Who or how did the poor Crotians get sucked into this?Did she look like this at the time of sale?

PHa, your statements are in well order,, I can confirm all of them ! :-)

Present Owner of GALEB is City of Rijeka; subject of the property: MUSEUM SHIP

Like you said, Peter, there's no money to restore the ship, but the owner (city of Rijeka) has already paid more than 1 million Euro since it got hold of her for various fees, checks and paperwork...

Ship has a very interesting history: Italian banana reefer - german minelayer - Titos yacht. More on wikipedia:

Should be a museumship, sold 2010 to Rijeka for 150.000 US-Dollars but obviously nothing happened. I think they have no money for restoring the ship.
Regards Peter

When one looks at the pictures of "Galeb" on this site, almost all are in "Museum ships" category.

Now..."Wrecks and Relics" - ominous, I say...

Thanks for sharing!
