Lydia, Museum ship in Le Barcarès, France
The Lydia measures 90 meters in length and stands permanently beached along the Mediterranean coast of Le Barcarès as a maritime attraction point.
Built in 1931 by Burmeister & Wain shipyard, the vessel operated under the name Moonta for Adelaide Steamship Company before becoming Lydia in 1955.
The ship transformed into a leisure center hosted performances by French musicians Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan during the late 1960s.
Visitors can explore multiple decks of the vessel, including the original bridge, dining rooms featuring Australian timber, and exhibition spaces.
The vessel, deliberately beached in 1967 through a specially dug channel, earned the designation as the ocean liner of the sands.
