Can anyone tell me more about this interesting vessel, which seemed to be sailing the Greek Islands during the late 80's. I have taken this photo from Shipspotting and I know she was the former Soviet Tadzhikistan which came from a class of 7 vessels of 3,219 gt built in the late 50's early 60's for local services in the Black and Caspian Seas.
She is also a sister of Odessa Sun which also had Greek connections and was used for charter cruising around Greece at about the same time. I have quite a few original photos and brochures on the Odessa Sun but nothing on the Olympic Flame.......any idea if there was any connection to the Olympic Games (although this did'nt take place in Greece until 2004!)
It would be interesting to find out more
Henry.
