Panagia Tinou (ship)
scrapped ferry built in 1972
Panagia Tinou, also known as Agios Georgios, 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. She served with several operators before being sold to Vaggelis Ventouris in 2004 to serve the Greek islands.
In April 2016, she sank while docked in Piraeus. The ship was refloated in February 2017 and was scrapped in the same year.

Why this record matters
The phrase “scrapped ferry built in 1972” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15102717. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972, 1991, 1987 and 2004.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
