German WW2 gunboat on Cyprus
I'm currently enjoying a relaxing (and very much boring) vacation on Cyprus and yesterday I saw this boat when strolling down the pier in Larnaca. Very interesting history indeed, and ironic that it's being used as a tour boat these days.

Would be nice to see a photo of this vessel in its heyday for comparison.
They have modified it very well !
