STRANGEST VESSELS IN THE WORLD-THE AERIA
Seen last at the Finnish port Turku (and possibly scrapped since then), this mysterious hull has sparked furious disputes in several ship-spotting circles. The boldest dreamers speculate she was an unfinished Soviet ekranoplan, but the more down-to-earth say she was only a fancy offshore casino. The version I like the most – this striking, extraterrestrial hull was an East-German spy ship, invisible to NATO aerial surveillance in the Cold War. Imagination is a valid source, right?
