Armored cruiser

Visitors wait in line to board an exact replica of an ancient Greek warship built in the mid-1980s by naval architect John F. Coates that is docked at the Palaio Faliro marina, on Athens' southern coast.

Tugs tow the 107-year-old battleship Georgios Averof to Trocadero marina in Palaio Faliro in southern Athens, Wednesday. The 10,000-ton former Hellenic Navy flagship returned to its berth, where it serves as a floating museum, after months of privately funded maintenance and conservation work at the Skaramangas shipyard.

The legendary Hellenic Navy armored cruiser “George Averof” is moving again, this time as it is on her way to Skaramanga Shipyards for a two month long maintenance.

The rare sight of this historic warship sailing is documented on the following video.
