Olympias in All Her Glory

I bumped into a new short video of Olympias in action last summer.

The Greek Navy makes some PR trips with a crew of navy and public every now and then apparently. This is not a selected, trained crew but still good to see it under oars.  Filmed with a drone maybe?
As winter comes on in northern latitudes this film is very inspiring...

A film from 2016 also...courtesy  Hellenic Maritime Navy Etiquette and Public Relations Directorate

 BONUS vid.... an homage to the trieres. Graphics, music and Greek language.

OLYMPIAS SAILED AGAIN

Apparently Olympias has been in the water over the summer.
She was successfully restored after the ravages of rot and worms and was 'søsæt' on 19th of April.

She is a bit sad-looking under tow but here is the Hellenic Navy promo of the event

I have looked for more information but not lighted upon anything more informative than these pieces
ARCHAEOLOGY NEWSNETWORK
and NAVY RECOGNITION

It seems a test was done last summer witnessed by a nice promo video from the Hellenic Navy which gets the pulse moving and lets her beauty shine through better than when a towed hulk.




But then..tadaaa!  A video which is really inspiring! Sponsors Jotun (marine paint firm) filmed Olympias for an advertisement. I don't think I'll buy their paint but the film is wonderful.
Shot this summer. The Age of the Trireme continues !!!!
