One of some hundreds of wooden merchant ships built in Finland as reparations to the Soviet Union.
She was rebuilt as a sail training ship for Soviet seamen and christened Sirius.
Poor building materials and a lack of maintenance made her deteriorate rapidly. She was laid up in St Petersburg and used as a restaurant, and was later scrapped, the restaurant being moved into another ship's hull.
