Nice slogan machine cancel... a keeper!

1958
Russia first Atomic Icebreaker (how scary is that!)
The dealer got it quite wrong,
it did exist, and currently is a floating restaurant.
(no mishaps in its history, thank goodness)

Nice. Interesting that an excerpt from Wikipedia covers both of these vessels:

"NS Savannah, named for SS Savannah, was the first nuclear-powered cargo-passenger ship, built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 million, including a $28.3 million nuclear reactor and fuel core...Launched on 21 July 1959, she was in service between 1962–1972...NS Savannah is one of only four nuclear-powered cargo ships ever built, while Soviet Russian ice-breaker "Lenin", launched on 5 December 1957, was the first nuclear-powered civil ship."
