Ortelius was originally the Marina Svetaeva. Built in Gdynia, Poland in 1989, it served as a special-purpose vessel for the Russian Academy of Science. Later, it was re-flagged and renamed after the Dutch/Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598), who in 1570 published the first modern world atlas: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum or Theater of the World. At that time, his atlas was the most expensive book ever printed. Ortelius is classified by Lloyd’s Register in London and flies the Dutch flag.
