Ghost Ship of the Cold Seas: The Eerie Saga of the MV Lyubov Orlova
by KIKE CALVO
The MV Lyubov Orlova, once a distinguished cruise ship launched in 1976, is now a maritime legend reminiscent of the Mary Celeste. Initially used for Arctic expeditions and scientific missions, the ship gained a unique character from her journeys. However, by 2010, declining condition led to her abandonment in Newfoundland.
