Can you translate Greek boat details?

[Zagato]

Any ideas?

Thalassa 5, I presume and the port!! Laypion maybe but Google doesn't bring anything up or it's translation service!

Thalassa - female greek sea god.

 

[NornaBiron]

Thalassa 5, Lavrion

 

[Zagato]

Many thanks

"The physical state of Lavrion was so bad that Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos used the city as a stand-in for war-torn Sarajevo in his film Ulysses Gaze"

That's my image of the boat spending her first 5 years in a glamorous marina near Athens shattered then Lol.

It's meant to be much better these days... before I upset any Lavrion'ites!!

Why does it say 'Saltash' on the quarter?

 

[sarabande]

Thalassa means "Sea".

 

[CAPTAIN FANTASTIC]

Sea in Greek is Thalassa; Lavrion is the town/port

 

[Zagato]

Googling Thallassa brings up name of greek sea god, mother to bla bla

Ghostlymoron - why Saltash? That's where her second owners kept her.

it occurred to me about halfpast three this morning...

Why mix the Greek letters with the Roman numeral "V" ?

To be consistent, they should have used " εʹ ".


(There are no Greek symbols for numbers; letters are used in a complicated base 9 series.)

That'll be the reason then!
