Has there ever been a famous example of a yacht or ship built that ended-up unable to launch for some technical reason to do with the slipway?

Just ended-up stuck where it was?

Nothing to do with the slipway, just good old Italian business shenanigans .

Paddled a canoe around this this morning. She is pretty big close up!

Another big shipyard as filed for insolvency recently.

Everything has gone wrong in Nobiskrug sadly. Hopefuly the news buyers will get it up and running again.

Great Eastern famously took several attempts and many months to get off the slipway. From memory the jacks were not strong enough to move her.

A bit of history and modern day look at the site of the great Eastern.

It’s pretty much down to luck that one didn’t end up with fatalities. Having to smash port holes to get crew out when the boats on its side, those lads probably want to phone Digby Brown

Went for a walk this morning and spotted an interesting shaped vessel on the horizon:



It’s Le Grand Bleu and looks great even from afar.

I've read that the owner of S/Y Black Pearl, a popular yacht around these forums, has recently passed away. I would assume that the yacht will be going up for sale soon as a result. Any idea what it would go for? Not that I am in the market, just interested.

Aye, cracking boat, that

In that style of boat, however, Octopus wins for me.

Apparently it was built for $200mil not sure on what the depreciation is on something like that.

[dudleybloke]

Out of my budget unfortunately.

$200m sounds cheap given a new Swan 120 is over $20m.

But it’s also around 1 swan 120 a year to run
