Message from Mathias De Coensel

The Garðar BA 64, Iceland's oldest steel ship, was decommissioned in the early 1980s due to safety concerns and subsequently abandoned on the shore. However, it has now become a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a spectacular sight and an excellent photo opportunity. Despite its retired status, the ship's rugged and weather-beaten exterior has a certain charm and intrigue that draws people to it. Visitors can explore the ship and learn about its fascinating history, including its role in Iceland's maritime heritage. The Garðar BA 64 is a unique and memorable sight that showcases Iceland's enduring connection to the sea and its rich seafaring history.
