Expedition yacht Admiral Nevelskoi
Yacht Admiral Nevelskoi

In July 1993, Professor Leonid Lysenko set out on a solo circumnavigation in the university's forty-foot-long (12-metre) Polish-built yacht Admiral Nevelskoi, calling initially in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Aleutian Islands and California.[2][3] In 1994, 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometres) west of Australia, the yacht's rudder and mast broke and Lysenko was picked up by a Ukrainian ship, abandoning the still-floating yacht . In 1997 the hull of a yacht was found drifting off Rodrigues Island, near Mauritius and brought ashore.[3][4] After 2010, when the wreck was identified as the missing yacht, a proposal was developed for its restoration and the establishment of a private "Admiral Nevelskoi Maritime Museum" on Rodrigues.[4]
