I don't know if this is true. It was interesting, anyway.

"Orient" was hauled out in San Diego years ago after starring in the film "Lucky Lady"
Orient was a test bed for the new line of winches, as was Baruna - so the story goes.
I don't know what became of Orient. After she was launched from the Kettenberg yard, she sailed off for other horizons. What a looker, though. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
