Guys, draw you own interpretations, mine is the obvious one.
I got caught out in evening rain in Navplion and I ran for cover in the nearest bar.
Hellas Liberty is the name of the ship !!
One of the last remained "Liberty" ships left in the world, has been granted from the American government to the Greek one for the creation of a Museum of Nautical Tradition.
The below shot is taken 31 months ago !
In my today's shot the old ship has been repaired from the rust, painted e.t.c. but is still not ready for the public!

My early unforgettable years I lived them
Close to the sea,
There by the shallow and calm sea,
There by the open and boundless sea.
And every time that my budding, early life
Comes back to me,
And I see the dreams and hear the voices
Of my early life there by the sea,
You, oh my heart, feel the same old yearning:
If I could live again,
Close to the shallow and calm sea,
There by the open and boundless sea.
Was it really my destiny, was it my fortune,
I haven't met another
A sea within me as shallow as a lake,
And like an ocean boundless and big.
And, lo! In my sleep a dream brought her
Close again to me,
The same there shallow and calm sea,
The same there boundless and open sea.
Yet, thrice be alas! A grief was poisoning me,
A powerful grief,
A grief that you did not lighten, my dream
Of my great early love, my home by the sea.
What storm, I wonder, was raging in me,
And what whirlwind,
That couldn't put it to rest, or lull it to sleep
My wonderful dream of my home by the sea.
A grief that is unspoken, an unexplained grief,
A powerful grief,
A grief not quenched even within the paradise
Of our early life close to the boundless sea.
MIA PIKRA (GRIEF) from Heartaches of the Lagoon By Kostis Palamas
Η πίκρα
Τὰ πρῶτα μου χρόνια τ᾿ ἀξέχαστα τἄζησα
κοντὰ στ᾿ ἀκρογιάλι,
στὴ θάλασσα ἐκεῖ τὴ ρηχὴ καὶ τὴν ἥμερη,
στὴ θάλασσα ἐκεῖ τὴν πλατιά, τὴ μεγάλη.
Καὶ κάθε φορὰ ποὺ μπροστά μου ἡ πρωτάνθιστη
ζωούλα προβάλλει,
καὶ βλέπω τὰ ὀνείρατα κι ἀκούω τὰ μιλήματα
τῶν πρώτων μου χρόνων κοντὰ στὸ ἀκρογιάλι,
στενάζεις καρδιά μου τὸ ἴδιο ἀναστέναγμα:
Νὰ ζοῦσα καὶ πάλι
στὴ θάλασσα ἐκεῖ τὴ ρηχὴ καὶ τὴν ἥμερη,
στὴ θάλασσα ἐκεῖ τὴν πλατιά, τὴ μεγάλη.
Μιὰ μένα εἶναι ἡ μοίρα μου, μιὰ μένα εἶν᾿ ἡ χάρη μου,
δὲν γνώρισα κι ἄλλη:
Μιὰ θάλασσα μέσα μου σὰ λίμνη γλυκόστρωτη
καὶ σὰν ὠκιανός ἀνοιχτὴ καὶ μεγάλη.
Καὶ νά! μέσ᾿ στὸν ὕπνο μου τὴν ἔφερε τ᾿ ὄνειρο
κοντά μου καὶ πάλι
τὴ θάλασσα ἐκεῖ τὴ ρηχὴ καὶ τὴν ἥμερη,
τὴ θάλασσα ἐκεῖ τὴν πλατιά, τὴ μεγάλη.
Κι ἐμέ, τρισαλίμονο! μιὰ πίκρα μὲ πίκραινε,
μιὰ πίκρα μεγάλη,
καὶ δὲ μοῦ τὴ γλύκαινες πανώριο ξαγνάντεμα
τῆς πρώτης λαχτάρας μου, καλό μου ἀκρογιάλι!
Ποιὰ τάχα φουρτούνα φουρτούνιαζε μέσα μου
καὶ ποιὰ ἀνεμοζάλη,
ποὺ δὲ μοῦ τὴν κοίμιζες καὶ δὲν τὴν ἀνάπαυες,
πανώριο ξαγνάντεμα κοντὰ στ᾿ ἀκρογιάλι;
Μιὰ πίκρα εἶν᾿ ἀμίλητη, μιὰ πίκρα εἶν᾿ ἀξήγητη,
μιὰ πίκρα μεγάλη,
ἡ πίκρα ποὺ εἶν᾿ ἄσβηστη καὶ μέσ᾿ τὸν παράδεισο
τῶν πρώτων μας χρόνων κοντὰ στὸ ἀκρογιάλι.
