CCGS “Simon Fraser”
CCGS “Simon Fraser” was a buoy tender operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The vessel was constructed by Burrard Dry Dock at their yard in Vancouver, British Columbia, and was launched on 18 August 1959. The vessel was sold to Quay Marine Associates Inc. for conversion to a yacht, in Italy. After more than ten years the “Simon Fraser” is still sitting on a dock...

Cruiser “Georgios Averof”
A 1910 postcard celebrating the launch of the Greek cruiser “Georgios Averof” at the Orlando Shipyards. There was a time when in Livorno we built a class of battleships called “Pisa”, fitted with an extraordinary combination of Italian engines, French boilers, British artillery and German generators.
Already at that time Italy had budget problems, so the third and last ship of the lot was sold to the Hellenic Navy. Not that Greece was much better off than us, but those were times when philantropists paid also for battleships, so the cruiser was named after George Averoff, who had footed part of the bill.
After a troubled first cruise to Britain to load ammunitions, the “Georgios Averof” finally sailed into Phaleron Bay, near Athens, in September 1911. At the time she was the flagship of her Navy and the most modern and powerful battleship in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The cruiser was decommissioned in 1952, but in 1984 the Navy decided to restore the historical vessel. She is now anchored in Faliron Bay as a floating museum of the maritime history and traditions of the Greek Navy.(Photo credits: postcard from the collection of Antonio Cantelli, Wikipedia, Historic Naval Ships Association)

Three-Story House
It looks like a three-story house (on wheels) but it is the superstructure of a large yacht in construction at the Benetti shipyard. I am sure that, when finished, it will provide quite comfortable living quarters for the lucky owners of this boat.See also: I Dynasty - Superyachts - I Dynasty, in Norway - Giorgio Armani's Yacht - Imagination & Illusion - Prince Abdulaziz - Bistango & Reborn - Octopus - Bistango

Ship Lift
A view of the “Darsena Morosini” now part of the Benetti shipyard. The set of blue mechanic arms just beyond the first yacht (the 35m “Johanna”) is the new ship lift, inaugurated last January with its first launch. The other boat is the 46m “Kaleido Beau”.See also: Open Bridge - Bistango & Reborn - Imagination & Illusion - Superyachts - I Dynasty
