She sank off the Mediterranean coast of Israel in 2007 after the 10,392 GT cruise ship CS Salamis Glory rammed her and broke her in two.

The Ivan Dimitrov shipyard[1] on the River Danube in Ruse, Bulgaria built the ship and launched her in 1973 as Zlatograd.

[4] The remaining two crew members were declared missing, prompting a search and rescue operation involving six naval vessels, multiple aircraft and divers.

[4] The vessel's sinking released an oil spill that moved down the coast, causing authorities to warn the public not to bathe at the nearby Zevulun beach.

One possibility being considered was that there was a fault in the ship's navigation system,[3] with some reports of a loss of steering control aboard Salamis Glory.
