Sources said the world's oldest charity ship, the Doulos, will dock in Pohang, North Kyongsang Province on Wednesday with an international volunteer crew of 350.
The Guinness Book of Records lists the Doulos as the oldest ocean-going passenger ship in the world. It was christened in 1914 in the United States, just two years after the Titanic.
The name and owner of the ship has changed four times over the past 87 years. A non-profit organization in Germany, GBA, created the current incarnation in 1978.
The 6,900-ton ship is known as the floating United Nations because it is home to 350 Christian volunteers from 35 different countries.
The Doulos has visited 420 ports in 88 countries all over the world including Asia, Africa, America, Europe and the Pacific Islands.
