Steam Yacht Gonca



I would like to ask you Richard, since you know Turkey very well, if do know what happened with this yacht.
This is a picture taken from the Boat International 1997, and it seams at that time he belonged and was rebuilt by to Rahmi Koc for his museum.
I try to have more update information on this yacht. She still in his museum?
For pure historical curiosity
Thank you
Daniel

welcome......

No Daniel, the picture shows a model only and the original boat wouldīnt fit in the museum (I was there a few monthīs ago). But in October I have a meeting with Rahmi Iīll ask him.
