A man who invested millions into the restoration of a classic cruise ship has stated that he has 'no regrets' despite selling the vessel for a mere $20.
Christopher Willson, an American man, decided to take on the renovation project of a lifetime when he came across a 293-foot vessel with 85 cabins on Craigslist back in 2008, and purchased it in 2010 after attempting to secure a long-term lease for the boat.
Originally named Wappen von Hamburg, the cruise ship was built in Germany and was the first ship the nation was allowed the build in the aftermath of World War II. It first came into service in 1955 and underwent various owners and name changes over the years, before being renamed Aurora by Willson.

Willson declined to state how much he'd paid during a recent interview with Business Insider, and he and his long-term partner set about restoring the vessel with the ultimate goal of turning it into a public museum.
He even began documenting his renovation project on his YouTube channel called Aurora Restoration Project.
