Thanks. It's nice to know, at least, that it happens only once!

: Gentlemen, as I have read some gloomy

: (Hydra, Vasilefs Georgios and Paralos)curved
: like bananas, resting on the middle section,
: stem and stern up! I forced them more or
: less in their original state, but the
: waterline is no longer straight as it should
: be. Did anyone face the same problem? Does
: anyone have information about the metal used
: or some melting error with these particular
: models? (They were safe from funny people,
: inside wooden drawers, alongside with
: hundreds of others which behaved in an
: absolutely decent way!)
