The MS Noahs Ark "The Cruise Ship that never was"

I couldn't find much info about this ship, so don't expect things I write here are accurate. The ship began bulding in the late 70s as the greek ferry "Taygetos" intended for service in the mediterranean, but the ferry was never completed because the company went bankrupt. In 1987 the hull was purchased by the Sea Venture Cruise Line. The cruise line completly rebulit the ship above hull, adding it a futuristic superstructure. The ship would have panoramic lounge windows and balconied cabins, and it would service in alaskan waters. But when the ship was around 80%-90% completed structally the owners ran into financial trouble and the project fell through. The hull was renamed "Noahs Ark" and was towed to Perama, Greece and later put up for sale, the ship would never be purchased due to the state and outdated looks of the ship. After sitting abandoned for nearly 2 decades, In 2011 it was sold for scrap in Aliaga, Turkey. It never carried a paying passanger.
