Soviet Titanic: The SS Admiral Nakhimov

In August 1986 the Soviet Union's merchant fleet was dealt a cruel blow when the darling of the Black Sea cruise ship lineup, SS Admiral Nakhimov, was sunk by an unlikely collision. The ship had a bizarre and storied career having survived a sinking in 1945 while serving as a German hospital ship but tragically history would show that she had merely delayed the inevitable. In today's video we will revisit the Admiral Nakhimov's story and bear witness to the horrifying final minutes of this once proud ship.
