Piraeus at Dawn.
This seascape of the Greek Port of Piraeus was captured just after dawn on the 15th September 2006 and shows the entrance to the main harbour and the skyline of part of Piraeus itself. The Roll on/Roll off ferry in the foreground is the 12891 Gross Ton, Lane Lines vessel Ieraperta L that has had a long career since she was built in Japan in 1976. One incident during her lifetime occurred in 2014 when she suffered a major fire in her engine room when she was off the Italian Port of Brindisi. Fortunately no one onboard at the time was injured. An Internet search using her IMO number (7429669) will yield a great deal of information for anyone interested in discovering more about her maritime career.
