Greek invasion? (Not really)

For the last 5 days or so, I've been seeing many Greek sailors walking on downtown Montreal (and standing in lines out of clubs on St. Laurent at night, but that's another story...), something that I found extremely strange.
It turned out that two Greek warships have docked at the old port, the HS Prometheus and the HS Aegean as part of a two month training trip. So, imagine my surprise when I got the old port, to find (next to the usual souvlaki stands) two Greek ships.
Now, since the docking coincided with the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the Hellenic Community of Montreal, people are allowed to visit the ships in the late afternoon (after 17.00). Yes, you still have time. (Today is actually the last day!)
Anyway, here are some pictures I got with my cell: (of bad quality I am afraid; and a disappointment for some of my readers: no sailor close-up pictures-SORRY!)






(All the pictures depict "Prometheus", I did not take any pictures of the other ship)

So, if you come across some Greek sailors, don't worry; you have not been invaded! After all, Canada is too far away and besides, we are too lazy to do something like that during the summer.....
