Hehe, I too when I saw it was in dilemma of should I try taking a photo of such frivolous vessel or ignore - decided to ignore cause only the dragon heads & rigging were visible above the pier & it wasn't possible to get close.
But seriously, you're on your way to take a pic of a certain ship you saw on Marinetraffic before it gets too dark - you ride along the tall fence, soon the fence ends, harbours are visible again, nothing special, you turn your head to the left & suddenly see 3 creepy dragon heads above the pier.............

👍🏼 Many thanks Denis for your information and the identification of this a little bit curious vessel. I had the same reaction - wtf... and then the question, why a photo of this object? Is worth it at all - only a scene picture or one for this page...? I never thought, that this vehicle would find a name and a place on our site here - thank you very much for your support. It learns me once more, "Hold on to everything, even the strangest floating object - sometimes it could be a direct hit 😉👍🏼 - Kind regards Marc

Excellent photo, Marc!

Moved it to the correct category, btw.

The correct name would be "Zmey Gorynych" or "Zmei Gorynych" (Змей Горыныч / Serpent Gorynych (or Dragon Gorynych), a dragon-like character from Russian folktales - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zmei_(Russian))

I was like Wtf? when while riding a bike along the harbours suddenly saw this boat here in Kaliningrad at the end of August - later found this interesting report in the local news (translated from Russian) - be sure to take a look at her interior!
