\nThe granddaddy of ships, the MV Doulos is destined to be a hotel. A Singaporean businessman, Eric Saw, the director of BizNaz Resources International plans to invest 7.5 million Singapore dollars (5.33 million US dollars) on turning the oldest ship in the world into a luxury hotel with restaurants and a book store. The hotel-ship will boast luxury rooms, banquet rooms and also a maritime museum and offices. That\u2019s not all; the ship will also be rechristened as the Doulos Phos, which literally means “servant” and “light” in Greek.<\/p>\n
\nEric Saw brought this ship from the German Christian charity GBA Ships, the guys who used it as a floating bookstore since 1977 till its decommissioning last year. The ship was built in 1914 (that\u2019s two years before the Titanic) and was doomed to a scrap yard had it not been for Saw. This 130-metre-long ship was used to haul sweet onions in its early life from Texas to New York. It was also used as a supply vessel US military in World War I, lent a hand of support to the US navy and coast guard vessels in World War II, and was a cruise vessel. A great way to recycle an old ship with a long history!
