the presidential yacht Galeb - 1
Galeb was built 1938 in Genoa as the auxiliary cruiser Ramb III, destined for the banana trade between Africa and Italy. In 1943 it was taken over by the Germans and turned into a minelayer under the name Kiebitz. While in Rijeka it was sunk in 1944 by Allied aircraft. A shipsaving company from Split raised Kiebitz in 1948, after which it was taken to Pula where in 1952 it was reconstructed as a school ship of the Yugoslav Navy under the new name Galeb. President Tito then used the ship 27 years until his death for a total of 549 days, sailing 86062 nautical miles (159387 km) over the Adriatic and other seas on political missions. By Tito’s death, 102 world statesmen had stayed on Galeb.
Galeb is 117 metres long and 15 metres wide with a displacement of 5754 tonnes. It is powered by two Fiat diesel engines of 7200 horsepower. The ship first came to international attention in March 1953 when it brought Tito from Yugoslavia to the River Thames, following the invitation from the British Government headed by Prime Minister Churchill. It was the first visit to United Kingdom of a communist head of state. Tito loved the glamour the yacht conferred on his regime. He used it for parties, foreign visits and diplomacy. World leaders entertained there included Nikita Khrushchev, Muammar Gaddafi and Indira Gandhi. Tito was particularly excited to welcome Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who played Tito in the 1973 war epic "The Battle of Sutjeska".

Currently the ship should be restored and finished until 2020 when Rijeka will be cultural capital of Europe. Much work to do until then ;-)

Merci pour les informations
And thank you very much for the history.
I really hope that it gets properly restored and gets put to good use again.
A wonderful shot Berny!
Bonne fin de semaine.
Berny club has replied to Marko Novosel clubMarko Novosel club has replied to Berny clubfrom wikipedia:
His funeral drew many world statesmen,both of non-aligned and aligned countries.
Based on the number of attending politicians and state delegations,it is still regarded as the largest state funeral in history.
They included four kings,31 presidents,six princes,22 prime ministers and 47 ministers of foreign affairs. They came from both sides of the Cold War, from 128 different countries out of 154 UN members at the time.
Only people who had problems with him was nationalists and criminals from all over Balkan,our communism was very different from other countries like Czechoslovakia,Romania,Albania etc.
We could travel where ever we wanted and thats why most of his opponents left the country and work from outside,it was very toxic emigration.
When he died and right before start of the war political emigration come back and took the country,when war stoped they started to take over firms and business,this was economic and also intelectual dissaster from which we didnt recover till today.
Not to mention everything that was built in his time,not just here but all over the world,mostly in NAM by his architects and engineers,before by Austro-hungarian state,Roman empire.
"Something is very rotten..but not in Dennmark but in Croatia".
cheers
