The Patris

 

 
Following cyclone Tracy the Australian Government leased the Patris from its parent company Chandris, to be used as a floating hostel for those who had lost their homes, from February 14, 1975 until November 1975. She was then used for several unsuccessful short term ventures before being scrapped in 1987.
And for those of you who wondered about the Patris and its history and her eventual end (thanks Jill Kinang).
