Still, it's got a kind of charm to it. In retrospect I can't see it as being all that of a bad idea, but maybe something that's a little more...
Wow, that is a stupid idea. Ironically enough I bet this thing'll wind up in a museum as a curiosity, instead of being converted to a prison ship...
I don't really know. I guess I'm asking if that stuff would be. :confused: I figured with all of the other chemicals used in bonding the...
FISHTIGUA, wow. I hate to ask, and I should know better, but is that thing real? Anyway, I'm guessing carbon, even though it's very reactive,...
Interesting replies. I'm not a big environmentalist or anything, but I'm wondering if maybe some of the vessels to old to serve anyone might be...
I can't recall too much of my visit to the Constitution, but out here in San Francisco, the maritime museum has lots of older vessels you can...
Who, me personally? I don't own anything made from a ship that I know of.
Yeah, a lot of old sailing vessels were torn apart for their timbers. I think mostly for furniture and things like picture frames. A lot of old...
I'm curious what will happen to one of the really big super yachts when it gets too old to put to sea again. Old wooden yachts could be scrapped...

HMS Bounty sinks in storm. I just came across this Youtube news snippet. It seems the vessel built for the 1962 version of "Mutiny on the...
I found the video I saw earlier this year (around Feb or March I think). [ Jade Yachts ]Taiwan Luxury Yachts-- Jade Yachts 95" - YouTube
Yeah, it's blocked for me also.
Understood, mister moderator. Well, the Ad-Astra was built in Hong Kong, but was designed by Anton Marton. But Hong Kong, even though China's...
I sure am, and make no apology about it. Here in the Bay Area keyboards, motherboards, and a lot of things were built either in Japan, Taiwan or...
Sorry, misunderstood your initial question. I wouldn't trust a Chinese yard to carve out an outrigger canoe. The PRC has a horrible history of...
This weekend is Fleet Week along the San Francisco waterfront. Tons of events going on in the city itself too. Lots of yachts and fighter...
Why are you asking this? Are you Greek or Chinese?
I was just wondering the same thing myself. A fun little film. It looks like they shot the interiors onboard the yacht itself rather than build...
Paul Harvey told that story one time on radio. I heard it from a friend in middle school too. I always figured it to be a fish story. I mean...
