MV ''Lyubov Orlova'' (built as ''Lyubovy Orlova'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Vessel's Details )〕 was a 1976 Yugoslavia-built ice-strengthened cruise ship, which was primarily used for Antarctic cruises. After being taken out of service in 2010, she sat in St. John's, Newfoundland for two years. Decommissioning was fraught with problems and the ship eventually became a floating derelict in the North Atlantic Ocean in 2013. She is believed to have sunk. ==History== ''Lyubov Orlova'' was named after the Russian film star Lyubov Orlova. The ship was built for the Far Eastern Shipping Company based at Vladivostok in the Soviet Union. She served as an expedition cruise ship, like her equally unlucky sister . Her hull was built to Finnish-Swedish ice class 1A, to withstand impacts with ice, and she often sailed in Antarctica and the Arctic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lyubov Orlova )〕 The ship was refurbished in 1999, and chartered by Marine Expeditions for cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula in 2000. She underwent extensive renovations in 2002 and was subsequently chartered by Quark Expeditions for the Antarctic and Cruise North Expeditions for the Arctic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Last Frontiers ) 〕 ''Lyubov Orlova'' ran aground at Deception Island, Antarctica, on 27 November 2006. She was towed off by the Spanish Navy icebreaker ''Las Palmas'' and made her own way to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV Lyubov Orlova」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
