@ Captain Ted
Many thanks for saying such nice words for shipyard Viktor Lenac, Rijeka, Croatia,, that's the shipyard where I spent my whole professional career of 35 years ... therefore, I highly appreciate your praise for that Yard ( I know you were once there also !!!).
Wishing you good seas & 'steady as she goes',
Jadran

@ Mr. DOT
Yes indeed,, she was originally the ex Canadian frigate..... and could tell plenty of stories (if only she could speak) including plenty of top famous people ( Ari, Maria Callas, Jackie, Marlyn Monroe, Churchill, Burton, Greta Garbo, Sinatra, etc, etc) ..... I believe she can tell a story even today about her current fate & prospects (her recent long lay-up,, then fortunately again seen sailing on the seas the last days).

@ Emmanuel
Who knows what were his (Ari Onassis) speculations ............... hahaha

Kind regards
Jadran

Hard to believe this was once the wartime HMCS Stormont, so magicaly transformed by the late Onassis!mrdot. and to think of the stories she could tell!
