MS Mikhail Lermontov was an ocean liner owned by the Soviet Union's Baltic Shipping Company, built in 1972 by V.E.B. Mathias-Thesen Werft, Wismar, East Germany. It was later converted into a cruise ship. On 16 February 1986 she collided with rocks near Port Gore in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand, and sank, claiming the life of one of her crew members.

I am offering this very nice butane lighter from the Russian cruise liner M Lermontov which sank off the coast of New Zealand in 1986. The lighter is offered in excellent condition, boxed and in working order, 82mm in length x 30mm in height. A lovely piece for the collector of nautical memorabilia or lighter collector. It will be emptied of all gas prior to shipping.

Due to lighting conditions the lighter looks gold coloured it is in fact silver chrome coloured I will amend the photographs in due course.
