The yacht of Josip Broz Tito "Galeb", where Hollywood stars and world leaders used to gather, will be turned to a museum on water, AP writes.

Europe's wealth map: Serbia is terrible, the worst from all of the former Yugoslavia. Is Iceland the richest country?

A new life has been given to that yacht, anchored into Rijeka harbor, the American agency marks and they point out that the local government will restore the yacht within the 5.4 million euros project, which will start in 2019.

The yacht has a lot of rust on it, the furniture in once luxurious saloons is broken, the agency points out that the ship sank twice since it was built in 1938 and that it was supposed to go to the junkyard.

The yacht hosted the best Hollywood stars in its prime days and around 70 world leaders, and the former Yugoslav president used it to reach the historical meeting with the British PM Winston Churchill, the AP adds.
