Dry cargo ship love. History of ghost ships: from "Lyubov Orlova" to the German prisoner of the ice

Moscow, January 26 - RIA Novosti. The coastal services of a number of European countries agree with previously suggested that the drifting of almost a year without a crew, the ship "Lyubov Orlov" sank in the Atlantic Ocean, reports the Irish newspaper Independent.

US intelligence discovered the ship "Ghost" "Lyubov Orlova"The 90-meter vessel sold on the Open Ocean from January 24 of this year after bursting a cable from the tug that followed the course to the Dominican Republic. The ship fell into a powerful cyclone zone and disappeared in international waters.

The cruise liner "Lyubov Orlova" until 1999, as part of the Far Eastern shipping company, made passenger flights to Sakhalin, Kamchatka, along the coast of Primorsky Krai and to Japan, after which it was sold to a foreign company. In 2010, the ship was arrested for debts. In 2012, the ship was sold to another overseas shipping company again. From Canada, the vessel in the tug was supposed to be delivered to the Dominican Republic on scrap metal, but during a storm in the Atlantic burst the towing cable, and the 90-meter vessel from January 24, 2013 drifted in the ocean. Drift "Love Orlova" caused an excitement in social networks and the media of many countries.

This week, the British media reported that due to the winter storms who came from the Atlantic Ocean, the vessel began the drift towards Great Britain and Ireland and should already approach the shores of one of the countries. Research the coastal services that the ship did not find that it believed that it was sank.

British Coast Guard did not find the ship "Lyubov Orlov"The ship "Lyubov Orlova" from January 24, 2013 drifting in the ocean. Currently, its coordinates are unknown. The media reported that the ship was closer to the shores of Great Britain and Ireland.

"We believe that, most likely, the ship sank, taking into account the storm, which were held in the region. We were looking for it for two or three months (vessel) using satellites, we were assisted by the Air Force. Our professional belief - the ship sank. We discussed this with representatives of Great Britain, Norway and Iceland and we all agreed that the ship probably sank, "the publication of the word officer of the Irish coast guard of Chris Reynolds quotes. At the same time, Reynolds noted that, despite his conclusions made by professionals, the fact of flooding is not set by 100% in the absence of evidence, but in this case it is impossible to get them.

According to the Fox News TV channel, an abandoned vessel, called in the media "Ghost ship", represents a significant financial value - approximately one million euros. First of all, because of the metal, from which the hull of the vessel and its superstructure consists.

How drifted "Ghost ships"

The Japanese fishing vessel "Maru" ("Luck") fell into the drift and crossed the Pacific Ocean after the destructive earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011. For the first time, the vessel was discovered at the end of March 2012, the Patrol of Canada Air Force. It was reported that the Japanese side after receiving a notice of detection of trawler managed to establish a shipowner who did not express the desire to return the ship. On board "Good luck" there was a minimal amount of fuel and there was no cargo, since in front of the earthquake in Japan, the vessel was intended for disposal. About the fate of the crew "Good luck" nothing was reported. As the vessel represented a threat to navigation, the coast guard of the United States in April 2012 she fired "Maru", after which the trawler sank.

White beaches of Koronado near San Diego - a real paradise for surfers and millionaires - today they became a real place of pilgrimage of curious zooak and treasure hunters: after a recent storm, the coordinated ease of some rusty vessel. The global media immediately sent the headlines: they found the ghost ship "Lyubov Orlova" - a real "Flying Dutchman" of the XXI century.

No one remembers the name of that tiny rocky island in the north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, where the sailors "Love Orlova" found an ancient Old Believe Cross.

The fact is that Canadians have a very strict approach to the ecology, and, before entering them to the port, you need to collect scrap metal along the way, "Vladimir Karelin recalled by Starpom, the former sailor with the" Lyubov Orlova ". - We went to one of the islands, made the barrels in one of the bays, put them where only you can on the ship ...

Together with the iron barrels, the ship was immersed and the cross as turned out to be blackened from time to time - apparently, everything that remained from the nameless Strover settlement of Dukhoborov, fled at the end of the beginning of the century from Russia to these deaf places. In general, Russian Old Believers in Canada are not uncommon - today more than 30 thousand descendants of Dukhobor live in the country, perhaps one of them and wandered on this slouch of sushi, lost in the midst of the eternal ice and the cold ocean, leaving the grave cross there.

From this cross, superstitious sailors are confident, and the torment began the crew members and the very motorp.

Last tour "Orlova"

The cruise ship "Lyubov Orlova", named after the Great Soviet Soviet actresses, was built on Yugoslavia shipyards on Soviet Orders in 1976. After the transfer to the Soviet customer, Lyubov Orlov became part of the Far Eastern maritime shipping company, and two decades the ship worked on the inner seaside lines, serving passenger routes from Vladivostok to transformation. There were international flights - for example, in 1979, the crew of the vessel participated in the humanitarian expedition to the Campucia after the overthrow of Paul Pota, which sailors were remembered with shudder.

In the late 90s, the aging "love Orlov" was given to freight, and two years in a row, she drove used foreign cars from Japan.

In 1999, a buyer was found on the ship - a certain company registered in Malta. Businessmen attracted an ice class and a good body, so that the ship could be operated in the northern seas, walk through the Arctic.

As a result, "Lyubov Orlova" turned into an elite motor ship for tourists who wanted to admire the beauties of the Arctic: a luxury cabin cabins were equipped with soft double beds, air conditioning and televisions.

True, the team on the ship remained old, from Primorye, but the service personnel began to gain in Novorossiysk. The competition was - dozens of man in place, because Lyubov Orlova has surrendered to the freight of such American travel companies as Quark Expeditions and Cruise North Expeditions, who sold the tickets to lovers of Arctic tourism from around the world.

In the summer, the vessel went with tourists to the Arctic, and in the winter - to Antarctica, - recalled the last captain of the ship, Alexander Pokhilez. - Every tour lasted 8-12 days, and in the offseason we had to get up for repairs - for the technical condition of the vessel, we carefully watched to guarantee safe sailing to customers.

From the last flight to the extreme islands of the Canadian Arctic archipelago "Lyubov Orlov" returned in September 2010. Saint-Jones came to the Canadian port - it was necessary to unload passengers, replenish food, water, fuel reserves, and then move the port of Las Palmas on the Canary Archipelago to get into the docks for preventive repair.

But only "Orlova" went to St. John's, as port officials with local policemen appeared on the ship. They declared the sailors that the vessel arrested on the suit of the tour company, which would probably lose money because of some failed cruise.

Under arrest

As soon as rumors of arrest "Lyubov Orlova" were leaked, the rest of the lenders were attached. It turns out that the tour suit, and the owner of the vessel were on the ears in debt. In the end, the crew, sitting on the arrested vessel, rebelled and threatened to submit to the court demanding to pay the salary. A shipowner even personally flew to Canada and promised sailors that pays with them as soon as he finds the money. But the situation became only worse.

When the salary debt reached 350 thousand dollars, the sailors appealed to ITF - the seafarers union, and soon the vessel was imposed on behalf of the crew.

It came to the fact that we had nothing to eat, "Vladimir Karelin complained about Russian diplomats. - Residents of Canada helped survive, which supplied crew products - bread, water, food. They even brought warm clothes, because in St. John there are very cold winters.

As a result, sailors were evacuated from Canada for the money of the Russian Embassy - our diplomats bought saids to their homeland. The latter, as applied by maritime law, left the ship Captain Alexander Pokhilez. Lyubov Orlova moved to the port of the port.

By ox waves

For more than two years, "Lyubov Orlova" stood at the communal wall in the port of St. Jones. As a result, the ship was sold at a metal auction for ridiculous money - only 275 thousand dollars (although the cost of the ship was estimated at 1 million 200 thousand dollars). And all the money went to lenders.

The new owner of the vessel is someone Hussein Hamauna, one of the owners of the Libyan Maritime Company NEPTUNE International Shipping - decided to overtake the "Love Orlov" in the Dominican Republic and cut the vessel on scrap metal.

And on January 23, 2013, the American tug of Sherlyn Hunt and the ship left Saint Jones harbor. But in the Dominican Republic they did not fall.

As it became known from the explanation of the captain of the tug, the next day, the towing cable burst and the ship began to burst and the ship began his own swimming.

All attempts by the team of the tug "catch" the vessel was not crowned with success. A few days later - January 27 - the coast guard of Canada due to excitement to the sea ordered the captain of the tugship to throw a liner and return to St. Jones.

Two days later, a message came from the Canadian oil company Husky Energy: employees of the company who worked on a floating oil platform Searose FPSO, noticed a drifer vessel in the sea, which did not respond to radio signals that appeal to leave the oil production area. In the end, the oilmen decided to personally go to the "love Orlov" and see what happened there, but then the ship was somehow changed the course and passed away from the oil platform.

Since then, "Lyubov Orlov" considered sunken, while in February 2013, the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency found a drifer ship from a satellite 700 km from the coast of Ireland.

Ireland's coastal service has already prepared an operation on landing on a new "flying Dutchman", but the "love of Orlova" again mysteriously disappeared from all the radars. For more than three months, the sailors shared the water area of \u200b\u200bthe Atlantic with the use of satellites, aviation and ships, used computer simulation - everything was unsuccessful.

Then private traders took into business. On the Internet there were whole clubs of the seekers "Love Orlova", which were shared by the news and discussed various ideas about the further fate of the liner - from the creation of a museum before creating an independent state in an overhexious vessel. Well, enterprising people on the wave of interest began to sell souvenirs on the Internet with the inscription in different languages: "Did you see" Love Orlov "?"

Who caught the "love Orlov"?

All experts in one voice claim that "Lyubov Orlova" could not sink: first, it is a very strong and stitching vessel, whose design can withstand the strongest sea waves and storms. Secondly, a special emergency radio was located on the ship, which was to automatically work when the vessel was flooded. Radio will send a signal that all rescue service satellites would have caught. Once the radio is silent, it means that sailors are confident, "Lyubov Orlov" is still afloat.

Call a lot of questions and circumstances of the disappearance of the vessel. Why "Lyubov Orlova" moved in a tug, when her engines were working, - after all, the ship has passed prophylactic repairs every year?

Another interesting question: why the ship decided to send to a disassembly to the Dominican Republic, where they simply do not have any kind of docks? The world famous leader on disassembling ships on the metal is Bangladesh, where old tankers and dry cargo services are chased from around the world. In second place - Bahrain, the city of West Africa, the Canary Archipelago.

Probably, it would be worthy to ask the shipowner himself, but Hussein Hamauni himself after the disappearance of the "love of Orlova" as the water went into the water, and after the revolution in Libya, his company stopped.

Therefore, probably, it is not surprising that there are thousands of conspiracy theories shortly after the disappearance of "Love Orlova". Some argue that "Love Orlov" is trally kidnapped and that now the ship is already under the new name, the expanses of the oceans are still furious. Others argue that world drug addicts is seen in the disappearance of the ship.

Floating cartel

In October 2011, the warship of Canadian coast guard intercepted in St. Johns's bay a strange underwater object - a fully automated submarine torpedo. Its hull, withsting dive under the water for several meters, was made of special plastic - so as not to check the radars, the autopilot was installed inside, which led the underwater apparatus according to GPS instruments. When Canadians were cut by autogen hatch boats, they were abuned: inside there were more than 6,700 kg of cocaine, belonging to the Mexican drug carrier Sinaloa.

But if the volume of smuggled cargo, the cost of which exceeds $ 180 million, surprised the police, then the destination of the automated submarine was easily predictable: over the past decades, the Saint-Jones port city has turned into a real drug hub of North America, from where Cocaine and Heroin come from. The fact is that the delivery from Mexico is now hard to stop the FBI, but the northern border with Canada remains almost no cover. This is used by Mexican drug carriers, who first deliver the goods to Canada, and from there they are delivering goods through US cities.

However, Cocaine is a non-modeous topic.

Cocaine has no future, "said the founder of the drug carter Sinaloa Hoakin Gusman, named El Chapo. - New synthetic drugs replace everything. These tablets are much more convenient for the user; They work quickly and use the attributes of injection or sniffing. Therefore, the future is in these new pills.

Even last decades, the position of traditional drugs were mixed with methamphetamines, now the whole American young people prefers fentanyl, which is 50-100 times more toxic than morphine. But for the production of such tablets, well-prepared chemists and equipped with the latest technology laboratory are needed. Therefore, Mexican cartels gradually began to transfer synthetic drug production centers to Canada.

Just for the production of new synthetic drugs and was intended for cocaine, stubborn in the luggage separation of the robot submarine.

Soon, the Canadian police found one of these laboratories, detaining two scientists, it remained for small - to cover the organizer of the transnational cartel. But then luck as if changed by the Canadian police. At the specified addresses, they found only empty warehouses - someone took out all the equipment and goods in an unknown direction ...

As a result, the organizer of the transnational cartel was announced a certain 30-year-old Jimmy Kurner, who in 2013 was sentenced to 27 years in prison for smuggling 109 tons of marijuana in the United States from Canada. According to the investigation, it is this nobody who does not know the young man in his hands all the threads of the criminal world, managed to agree with all mafia families controlling drug smuggling through the US-Canadian border. It is not surprising that after the sentence of Crury's sentence, many were considered that he simply took the blame on himself, hitching the real owner of the cartel - Hoakina Gusman, who at that time did St. Jones his headquarters.

However, conspiraologists consider when the Canadian police have sorted his business from all sides, El Chapo reincarnantly escaped from the very nose of the police, playing the drama with the disappearance of the "love of Orlova" and turning the ship to the ghost ship. Together with me, El Campo is carried away and chemical equipment, turning a cruise liner in a floating laboratory for drug production. Agree, this is the ideal scheme: the ghost ship chatting in international waters works properly produces "funny tablets", sending ready-made goods to all ports on the submarine robots.

By the way, this hypothesis explains how uncontrollable "love Orlov" not only hastily avoided the collision with oil towers, but also, having encouraged Canada from the north, was in the Pacific and reached the shores of California.

In 2014, El Chapo was arrested in Mexico - the country's authorities were wanted since 2006, and in the local police were confident that the Boss of Synaloa had long run away from the country - either to Europe, where the arrests of several "cartel generals" were arrested, or in Colombia. But at some point, El Chapo, as if from under the earth, emerged in the city of Guadalajara, where he in the early 2000s had already tried to build a plant for the production of methamphetamine. And was immediately detained by the police.

After the arrest of El Chapo, confident in the special services of Mexico, his workflows gave the team to take the "Love Orlov" in the open sea and blew up there.

Or Floating Boutinal?

However, after the news about the detection of the "Love Orlova" from the coast of California passed throughout the media, the American authorities hurried to speak with refutation. Say, this body actually belongs to the floating brothel SS Monte Carlo - this is a former oil tanker, which in 1932 the ear mafiosi redesigned in the casino and boutinal. In the times of the dry law "Monte Carlo" drifted in neutral waters, hiding from the law and taking on board of entertainment seekers, until in 1937 he burned down and did not sink during the storm.

In addition, with a detailed inspection it turned out that not only metal, but also concrete used in the design of the detected ship, which was used by Americans to the Second World War for the construction of dry cargoers. It would seem that everything fell into place.

However, as it turned out, concrete was also used on "Orlova". In 2008, the ship was damaged when collided with icebergs. When repairing the owner of the vessel ordered to strengthen the corps - and the nose of the ship strengthened concrete. And in general, according to Captain Alexander Pokhilts, the outlines of the ship seem to be very familiar with him: the same size, cutouts in the main deck.

Anyway, but the story of the "Love Orlova" we seem to not know already. The only thing that is known is that no roof rats-cannibals that have grown up all world tabloids are found in the vehicle holds and failed. If there were rats, then it was already drowned.

The former Soviet cruise ship "Lyubov Orlova", almost a year ago, lost in the Atlantic during a towing, most likely sank, the head of the coast guard of Ireland Chris Reynolds believes.

Of the reliable information about the location of an unlikely vessel has not been received since April last year, representatives of Britania coastal protection reported Russian service.

Nevertheless, this week in the British press this week there were messages, where, with reference to experts, it was argued that winter storms could attribute the vessel to the shores of Ireland, Scotland or England.

The only living inhabitants of the lost vessel, if it is still afloat, there are rats, forced to eat each other, so as not to die from hunger. Experts warn that if the "love Orlov" waves will throw off to the British coast, inhabiting her animals can be dangerous.

Threat for navigation

"At the beginning of last year, our Canadian colleagues informed us that they lost the ship in the Atlantic Ocean," said Reynolds to the Russian BBC service correspondent. - This is a very large vessel with displacement of more than four thousand tons, it represents a threat to navigation, Since he has no identification lights, and all the electronic systems are disabled. "

Then, Kris Reynolds continues, the search for the ship was searched for three months from the air, as well as with the help of satellite tracking systems.

"As a result, we found a Spanish fishing vessel, but not" Love Orlov ". However, last year we recorded the termination of the emergency sensor signal. Of course, we cannot argue that it was a sensor, but we assume that we are talking about The ship that sunk in the Atlantic was not excluded that it was this ship, "said the head of the Irish coastal service in an interview with the Russian BBC service.

"All in the past"

The story of the "ghost ship", the only passengers of which are allegedly roof cannibals, bypassed the pages of many British newspapers.

There are, of course, coastal services, but there are a huge army of people who go into the sea on private vessels. "The ghost ship" can be caught by the eyes of Stef Brown

Built in 1976 at the shipyards of the former Yugoslavia, the cruise ship "Lyubov Orlova" until 1999 was part of the Far Eastern shipping company. Then they were sold to a foreign cruise company, and the ship began to boil the expanses of the Arctic and Antarctic.

Since 2010, words as "commercial disputes", "arrest" and "scrap" sounded around the ship. After two years of downtime in the Canadian port of Saint-Jones, the ship was sent to the Dominican Republic on the literal sense of the word.

But "the ship and man" apparently was not destined to become scrap metal. During a strong storm, the ropes were burst, with the help of the vessel towed, and for some time an incomplete ship drifted near the Canadian coast, threatened by oil platforms.

Then the Canadian authorities brought him away from sin to neutral waters. After that, a new phase began in the life of the ship. He became, quite officially, a ghost ship.

According to experts, the cost of the liner even as a pile of metal can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Search Engine story

According to Pima de Ruds, a diver, an instructor and a professional search engine from Belgium, such a case is to find a driferous ship - falls quite rarely.

In an interview with the Russian BBC service, Pim said that immediately after receiving news that "Love Orlova" may have drifting in the Atlantic Ocean, he began to work.

If I find this ship, he will be my pim de rudes, a professional search engine

Pim's first seven-day expedition made his team in February 2013. "We had to stop it because of the weather conditions," he complies.

The second balancing - now three weeks - was in March last year. According to the search engine, he did not have even approximate data on the location of the vessel, and the expedition ended with nothing.

"If I find this ship, he will be mine," says Pim. He expects to rescue on it about a million dollars.

However, to fight the ocean observers blindly - the lesson is too expensive. "So the search will continue only if someone informs that the ship fell on his eyes. Most likely, this will be employees of the coast guard of Ireland, Spain or another country, to whose shores the ship can attribute.

As for the statements about the rats-cannibals on board the "love of Orlova", the way Pim de Ruds believes, they are completely unfounded. And although British newspapers attribute them to Pima, he himself deprived of these words.

"Even if rats remained there, they all have already set off on the world," he says.

Legend of social network

As often happens in such cases, the legend about the abandoned "love of Orlova" quickly stuck in the virtual space.

At the beginning of last year, the blog "Where Love Orlova" appeared.

"I learned about this ship on the Internet. My wife and I began to discuss how it would be possible to find a drifer ship. In search of us, of course, there was no expensive equipment - drones or satellites - too, - says Stef. - Then The idea came to create a blog where all information about this ship could be gathering. "

Stef considers his blog a kind of experiment, which can demonstrate the power of the Internet as a powerful synthesizer and a collector of information.

"There are, of course, coastal services, but there are a huge army of people who come out in the sea on private vessels." The ghost ship "can caress them on her eyes," the search engine believes.

Thanks to Stef, the former cruise ship passengers and even Captain Ricardo Ferro began to write to his blog, whose vessel was so unsuccessful towed the "love Orlov" from the Canadian port of St. Jones.

As the captain wrote, the cause of the cliff of the steel cable was waves, the height of which was reached 10-12 meters. Ricardo Ferro believes that the drifting ship can be found, and he has plans for this.

In addition to this blog in Twitter, the Lyubov ORLOVA account appeared, and the page of the same name appears. So the legend of "Love Orlova" continues to live.

"As the ship will name, so he sails."
In 2013, the former Soviet ship "Lyubov Orlova" made a lot of noise in the world, when the new owners of the vessel decided to send it to scrap metal and to take it away from Canada to the Dominican Republic ...

The megazvnik of the Soviet cinema "Imprinting into the steamer" flatly refused to be chopped on the nails and during a strong storm at the end of January, climbed away from the tug, went into the free planning of the cold waves of the Atlantic.

For almost a year, she blinked the media, there were reports that he was selected by the radar, then the traces were lost again, the SOS signal came with one of her boats, but the rescuers in the area did not find anyone.

She played his last role of the "bat of the Dutchman" in all the laws of the genre, collecting numerous fans around the world.

Adventure seekers tried to find it on their own, Pim de Rownes Belgian treasure seeker took at least two attempts, according to him, both times was on the verge of success, but some obstacles always appeared.

Well, the enterprising people on the wave of interest began to sell souvenirs on the Internet with the inscription in different languages \u200b\u200b"Did you see the love of Orlov?".

Farewell hello from her came on December 24th, on the eve of Catholic Christmas, there was no more news.

The 100-meter Handsome motor ship made its first swimming in the summer of 1976 from Yugoslavia, where it was built on the order of the USSR, to the port of registering Vladivostok, in Soviet times, mainly worked on the internal lines of Primorye-Kamchatka-Kurila, ordinary passenger flights.

But the vessel with such a name simply could not not be unusual pages.

In 1979, the ship "Lyubov Orlova" was sent with a cargo of humanitarian aid in Campucia, now Cambodia.

After the defeat of the "Red Khmer", headed by the floor, then, the country lay in ruins, the population decreased almost twice, the campaucache was desperately needed in all - medicines, food, clothing, etc.

In the city of Kampongs, where the vessel stood on the raid from 65 thousand people left 790 people.

In his free from the main work, the time, according to their own aspiration, they built a children's house, and then they took the patronage over him and gave it all that could - towels, curtains, cakes, bed linen, dishes, their own clothes, leaving only What could have come to the house.

There were even incidents when the team of Nakhodka doctors returned to the homeland to their homeland from the orphanage in some melting, leaving everything that was on them and here they were announced that the ship was delayed for another month, had to "scrub the slaves" for them ?? ??

The first flight in Campucci lasted for more than a year, the ship served as a hotel for our specialists who helped to restore a ruined country and dockers who survived coming humanitarian assistance.

Upon return, it was planned that another ship will take place, but the campaucache was asked to send "Love Orlov", they met them as the most expensive guests, almost the whole city came to the berth, for them a real holiday was arranged.

The motor ship and its crew became a symbol of fraternal campaigns, and by and large, the symbol of life, the sailors were awarded with campaign medals, in the homeland by Soviet orders and medals, and the ship itself received the Order of the Friendship of Peoples, the only passenger vessel deserved such a reward.

A supreme orphanage in Kampongsom was called in honor of the seafarers Dwevent named after the ship "Lyubov Orel", and in 1980, the documentary film "Maxim from Kampuchea" came out, about the orphanage campauccue boys and the life of sailors in the Campuccian port.

Other ships came to the port with a humanitarian cargo and their crews took a living participation in the life of the campaucker, and met them with the same joy, but Lyubov Orlov was the first vessel that appeared at the hard time and help was so timely, because to her Special relation.

And the crew had a special attitude to the most love of Orlova, which was not surprising, they represented the country with her name on board.

The sailors were the first to organize the museum of memory of a remarkable actress, they were collected that they could, publications, films with her participation, hung her portrait in the music salon, Mosfilm presented a photo montage of her roles, Grigory Alexandrov sent welcoming radiograms, came to visit her "Film Son" on the film "Circus »James Patterson.

Lyubov Petrovna and James supported good relations and when he changed the epaulets of the senior lieutenant of the Black Sea Fleet on the path of the poet, publicist and public figure, they had several joint speeches.

James had a lot of kind words about their "cinema mom," he always responded to her with great warmth and he had something to tell.

James Patterson

In 1999, Lyubov Orlova divided the fate of the entire Far Eastern Passenger Fleet, she was sold.

The American company who bought the ship carried out repair work in accordance with its requirements, increasing the comfort of cabin and the motor ship became a cruise liner, now he made tours to the banks of Antarctica.

A rare case, but Lyubov Orlova named Lyubov orlova left Lyubov.

Then there was again the change of owners and flags, and at the end of 2010 the scandal broke out, the ship was arrested in the port of Canada Saint-Jones for debts, on board was mostly Russian crew and two Ukrainians.

After two years of litigation and proceedings, it was decided to send a liner on scrap metal to repay debts.

And at the time of transport, the recalcitrant "actress", by the way, was so called this class of passenger ships, escaped to the will of waves and winds, they took her in eternity ...

However, the story received an unexpected continuation ...

November 20 - RIA Novosti. British publications talked about the coast of the ship found on the coast of California, which may be the Lord Orlov liner of the Soviet buildings missing in 2013. About Nakhodka reported Mirror, Daily Mail and The Sun.

The publications lead the words of specialists who sounded in the documentary of the SCience Channel channel, that the size of the core coincides with the "Orlova" - both vessels of 90 meters long. However, other experts denied this assumption, stating that the remains of the ship's concrete, while the Soviet vessel was built mainly from the metal.

In addition, the version of which found fragments belong to abandoned in the 1930s, which was used by the Mafia for illegal casinos, brothels and food institutions was mentioned back in 1930s.

"Rats-Cannibals"

The publications accompanied the stories about the mysterious "ghost ship" colorful details.
"Experts fear that the 40-year-old liner is eating hundreds, if not thousands of contaminated rats-cannibals, who have no other source of food, except for their relatives," writes Daily Mail.

"The coasters of the Russian ghost ship issued on the coast after the hordes of rats-cannibals were captured," adds Sun.
