About MS Athina B
The Athina B was a Greek merchant ship. On 21 January 1980, while sailing from Portugal, she suffered engine failure in bad weather and beached at the seaside resort of Brighton, England, to the east of the Palace Pier. The ship became a temporary tourist attraction, with the Volk's Electric Railway opening out of season to serve the large number of sightseers. The anchor is on display on Brighton seafront. A restaurant in Brighton bears the name of the ship and a painting of Athena B by Dennis Roxby Bott is in Brighton Museum.
