Multiple dives barely scratch her. Struck rocks off Cape Jackson in February 1986 after the local pilot took her through a channel far too narrow for her draught; 743 passengers and crew got off and one crewman died. The Soviet Union's flagship Pacific liner, and one of the strangest maritime blunders of the 20th century. Anchorage: Port Gore; the Marlborough Sounds offer excellent sheltered anchoring throughout. Hazards: Drysuit or thick wetsuit; viz 5-15m. Mehr
