That is what I thought and distinctive by the lines of a Canadian Frigate which she was in an earlier life.

Looks like the Mallardrottingen, now moored in Stockholm as a hotel. Formerly Barbara Huttons yacht, the woolworths heiress. Looks as thoughthe decks have been modified to add accomodation.

Hitler. Don't know what Ike did with it though. Scuttled?

The ensign is Spanish. The funnel looks post war, so I guess it's Franco's motor yacht, el Azor.

Don't know. Is there a courtesy flag visible to identify which country's waters she is in?

EDIT: If not, it's in Spanish waters, innit?

Franco spent some of his summer hols in Galicia and the Azor was trundled round there,although come to think of it it could have spent most of its time in one of the naval dockyards either in Ferrol or Marin......dont rec where the photo was taken

She's now landlocked, and being used as a motel in Burgos:

Are you sure about the "being used" part? Looks totally abandoned in the photo.

Im pretty sure Franco would not have Anchored of Gibraltar.

Ceuta?
