MAKSIM GORKIY in Lisbon 4-10-2006

"One of the few steam cruise ships of the sixties still sailing very much in her original form, the MAKSIM GORKIY ex-HANSEATIC,
ex-HAMBURG still looks modern
despite her 37 years of trading
under three flags:
Germany,
USSR and
the Bahamas..."
This was posted in 2006 and at the time I could not believe the MAXIM GORKIY was so close to the most stupid ending at Alang, India.

The MAKSIM GORKIY in full Black Sea Shipping Company livery in the 1980s cruising past the Dover Straits.
At the time this fine passenger and cruise liner was the proud flagship of the URSS' merchant fleet.
