An interesting website (albeit in Romainian) on PT Cetatea. A former buoy tender vessel, she is laid up in derelict condition on the Danube at Giurgiu. Her Escher-Wyss compound diagonal machinery dating from 1903 and boiler remain in-situ. She attracted the attention of Swiss preservationists with a view to using the hull in a proposed replica of the River Aare paddler Wengi (1856). The Romanian government, however, decided she should remain locally and may now become a museum ship. However, as seen in these photos on the link below, in the summer of 2009 she remained derelict.
