Description:

At Ambelakia, Salamina, Greece on June 21, 2006.

The following data from Shipspotting member Australis, thank you for identifying her:

This vessel was laid down in the mid-80's in Romania to become the yacht of Tsausesku, Romania's last communist leader. When his regime collapsed the vessel remained incomplete. She was bought in the mid-90's by Greeks and renamed PYRROS with the intention to convert her into a ferry for the Greece-Italy run. She remained idle at Eleusis for years. A few years ago she was sold to John Papanikolaou (owner of Christina O.) with the intention to become a mega-yacht. She was taken at Salamis but remains untouched.

Any possible extra data appreciated!
