For the last 14 years, Christopher Wilson has been on a mission to bring the 293-foot Aurora cruise ship to its former glory. Built in Germany after WWII and featured in Hollywood classics, such as the 1963 Bond film From Russia with Love, the Aurora eventually ended up on Craigslist. Until Wilson and a dedicated group of volunteers came onboard and got to work. To follow along with the restoration, head to the Aurora Restoration Project YouTube channel – you won't regret it.
