My love of #OceanLiners extends to the odd ones, like #Soviet liner #MikhailLermontov, which was launched in 1970 for the Atlantic run but converted into a #CruiseShip. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1986, in harbour & under command of a #NewZealand pilot, she was run aground and sunk.

"Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea."

✒ #MikhailLermontov, Russian author, poet, and painter, was #BOTD 15 October 1814. #Art #Poetry #Literature
