On 3 October 1994, Peter Knego arrived in Piraeus aboard the ACHILLE LAURO to begin an epic day of documenting cruise ships and former ocean liners in Piraeus harbor, Perama, Keratsini and the "forbidden" Bay of Eleusis. The following are captured in this remarkable 32 minute video: MERMOZ (Paquet Cruises), PACIFIC PRINCESS (Princess Cruises), the wreck of the PALLAS ATHENA (Epirotiki Lines), the wreck of the MELODY, the former Soviet ARMINIYA, ODYSSEUS (Epirotiki Lines), OLYMPIC (ex JUAN MARCH -- Epirotiki Lines), NEPTUNE (Epirotiki Lines), PANAGIA (ex KRONPRINZ HARALD), RETHIMNON (ANEK Lines), KETHODIYA (Arkadia Lines), STELLA OCEANIS (Sun Line), STELLA SOLARIS (Sun Line), FIESTA MARINA (Epirotiki Lines), RADIOSA (Chandris Cruises), SEA PRINCE (ex ITALIA), SILVER PALOMA (Arkadia Lines), MARIANNA VI (ex AUREOL), MARGARITA L (ex WINDSOR CASTLE), MARIANNA 9 (ex PRINCIPE PERFEITO), the wreck of the PEGASUS (Epirotiki Lines), ORION (K Lines), CITY OF MYCONOS (Cycladic Cruises), LA PALMA (Intercruise), VERGINA (ex BILU) and more! This video is a shiplover's dream, brimming with classic ships, nearly all of which have long since vanished.
