A ship in the city

The title doesn't say much, specially for those who live in big cities with sea/ocean or big river. But for Yerevan, that would be completely odd. No sea, no ocean nor a big river to host ships.
It was on an event on June 20. A replica of a XIII century Armenian merchant sailing ship named "Cilicia" was "docked" in the center of Yerevan as an act to persuade our unwilling government to fund a project for sustaining the ship and its museum. A well known Russian singer voluntarily participated with an open air concert and contribution.
I made a quick jump on the ship and took some photos (wasn't prepared... but that's not an alibi).
Meanwhile do make a googling or visit the following site: http://ayas.am/
Oh, I forgot to mention that the ship set sail to the Atlantic.
The sail carrying mast
The beds
