Thessaloniki: Damage from the strong winds to the destroyer - museum ship "Velos"

The destroyer "Velos" moored in New Paralia of Thessaloniki, which functions as a museum, was delivered to the mercy of the winds, which managed to break the capstans of its protective balloons, causing it to crash onto the dock.

 As reported, the ship was restrained by two tugboats that sailed to the spot, while the assessment of the size of the damage it suffered is expected to be completed at noon.

In fact, the poet and prose writer Manolis Xexakis published photos from the "Velos" on his account, emphasizing that the balloons' cables broke, the captain ordered the sailors to the beach, he himself stayed aboard, and the ship pounded relentlessly on the dock. It broke the wooden curb, while a tugboat secured it to a floating buoy, plus he held it for a few hours so that the state 7 seas with gusts of 77 km/h, didn't capsize it.
