Very good! Looking forward to the progress of her restoration.
I think right now she is still in Thessaloniki, correct?

[Ayanamikun]

Indeed she is.
Here during the celebrations of the 28th of October. The Greek president was onboard.

Averof will stay in Thessaloniki until the 3rd of December. Visitors in Athens Naval park won't be able to see her before January 15, 2018.

Also a crew member saved a Chinese tourist that fell into the water a couple of days ago:

Hello, a project I've done before a month, about a Greek armored cruiser of 1911. The ship is "G. Averof" and is still in service as a Naval Museum. The 3d model is based in the original ship plans from the shipyard Frattelli Orlando & Co. My purpose was to create an accurate (as possible) model of the ship, in order to use it for various prints as you can see from my page (https://www.facebook.com/Averof-3D-Apps-Prints.../). Finally the 3d model was rendered in 6000+ pixels because the final printout was 30x50cm in 300 dpi.

Nice work TassosK! Thanks for sharing
