Creator's Key Takeaways
I was literally in a State of Shock overwhelmed by this incredible experience and the hospitality and generosity of these warm-hearted people
I was also sad that our visit was over and that there was little hope for these beautiful and historic ships
I loved every stylish aspect of this part of the ship including the staircase that led to the boat deck landing
It puzzled me that the supposedly doom ship looks so much better

Part three of Peter Knego's trip to the Ukraine in search of forgotten, classic Cunarders concludes with this visit to the laid up LEONID SOBINOV, the former SAXONIA/CARMANIA. Built in 1954, she was the first in a successful quartet of intermediate liners for Cunard's Liverpooll to Montreal service. In 1963, she became the stylish cruise ship CARMANIA until being sold to the Soviets in 1973 and renamed LEONID SOBINOV after the famed actor/opera singer. The ship had been laid up for three years when Knego paid her a nostalgic visit in 1997. She was ultimately sold for scrap in 1999 and broken up in 2000 at Alang, India. #Odessa #Iliychevsk #Carmania #OceanLinerDesign #Saxonia #ClassicLiners #Abandonedship #OldShips #Ships #HistoricVessels #Cunard #LeonidSobinov #Ukraineships #Odesa #MaritimeHistory #NauticalWonders #OceanLiners
