In 2012, the ARA Libertad, one of the fastest tall ships in the world, was impounded in Ghana at the request of a hedge fund claiming money from Argentina:

It was later released and is currently visiting Amsterdam as a training ship of the Argentinian navy. I had an enjoyable visit.

Nice. Thanks for sharing it.
Now that ship has to go to Arkhangelsk, to repair the historical mistake...

Default fun mfaktc numbers

Once I noticed these, I was really hoping for a 222.22. But one hasn't turned up, yet.

Ah! Now one has!
