Posted on January 3, 2008 at 1:59 pm by Mr BBI
Here are five pictures of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s luxury yacht. As you can see there was no expense spared in fitting out this floating palace. The decor features gold, silver, and marble. Arabesque arches, fountains, gold-tap bathrooms, whirl pools, steam rooms, table and silverware for 200, a medi-clinic with surgical suite.
It also boasts bulletproof glass, cctv, a helipad, 14 cabins for 28 passengers, bunk space for 35 crew members, and not forgetting the secret passage that runs the length of the boat for easy access to a fast patrol boat and mini-submarine pod for emergency exits.
The 269-foot “Qaddisat Saddam” was built in 1981 and has recently surfaced in the South of France under a new name - “Ocean Breeze” - with for For Sale sign attached and a price tag in the region of £17m.
