MV Agios Georgios, also known as MV Panagia Tinou, was a historic roll on roll off ferry launched in 1972 as MV Hengist. She was designed to operate across the English Channel and served the Folkestone-Boulogne route until 1991. In 1987, she was beached as a result of the great storm of 1987.[1] She served with several operators before being sold to Vaggelis Ventouris in 2004 to serve the Greek islands.[2][3]

In April 2016, she sank while docked in Piraeus.[4] The ship was refloated in February 2017 and was scrapped in the same year.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
