Astonishing pictures show the inside of Saddam Hussein's megayacht - which has now been converted into a scientific research vessel. 

The 82-metre (270-foot) yacht was nicknamed the 'Basra Breeze' and is now used as the Scientific Research Center of the Marine Sciences Institution of Basra University.

A look inside the yacht shows the dictator's private quarters, a king-sized bedroom with silk curtains and a bathroom with gold details.

There is even a barbershop, dry cleaning and first aid room spread out over the four floors.
