AL MANSUR translates roughly into English as’ the Victor’, which seems somewhat ironic judging by the nasty end it met during the Invasion of Iraq in 2003 at the hands of some rather cruel US Air Force pilots (though, obviously, not as cruel as the yacht’s owner- a world famous dictator). The name originally belonged to an ancient Iraqi Caliph, who...

The yacht is now known as BASRAH BREEZE and s...

Mansur came to the throne when his father was killed while beseiging Santarém, Portugal, in x I84. He swore a great oath of revenge for his father's death but internal troubles with the Almoravids, the dynasty which his family, the Almohads, had ousted from the throne, detained him in Africa.
