When innovative companies promote Greek Culture and Seamanship, it’s a win-win situation. The world’s only surviving heavily armored cruiser of the early 20th century, Hellenic Battleship “GEORGIOS AVEROF” meets innovation.

 The living myth of the glorious naval history of Greece equipped with traditional ropes which have been manufactured by D. KORONAKIS company. Historic Hellenic Battleship “GEORGIOS AVEROF” was recently equipped with new mooring ropes. They look vintage taking us back 100 years in time but are actually made of durable, state-of-the art materials. D.KORONAKIS Company, after meticulously researching historic photographs, seamen’s manuals (e.g. a rigger’s manual dating back to 1915) produced and generously sponsored the new mooring ropes. The custom made special rope made of specially developed yarns which makes it very UV and abrasion resistant.
