The Greek Ship (Persian: کشتی یونانی, Kešti-ye Yunāni) is the nickname of a cargo steamship, Khoula F, that has been beached on the southwest coast of Kish Island, Iran, since 1966. She was built in 1943 by the British shipyard of William Hamilton and Company in Port Glasgow, Scotland, under the name Empire Trumpet.[1] From 1946 to 1966, she passed through a series of British and Iranian owners and various changes of name.[2] Her final owners were Greek,[2] and the nickname given to her derives from them.
