A bridge less than 100 years old that got hit by a bomb doesn’t sound very historical to me. The French even dismantled the Pegasus Bridge which was much more historically significant.

One of these days someone’s gonna make a Jeff Bezos biopic, and it’s just going to feel like a Lex Luthor movie without Superman.

Dig a canal around the bridge, fill it in after the boat is out. This isn’t rocket surgery!
Normally in these situations they install the mask(s) after to boat get outside of bridges. Guess they cannot handle installing away from builder.
Looks like an update to an old guided missile frigate.
They used those vertical parts to erect the bridge in the first place. That operation would be similar to how they assembled the massive crane way at the Newport News shipyard.

I think it’s supposed to be all stainless steel. Still ugly.
One of the most beautiful modern sailing yachts I’ve seen is Tom Perkins’ ‘Maltese Falcon’:

Perkins seem to have a lot better taste.
He was also a lot smarter.
Some truths are self evident.

The ‘Black Pearl’ is beautiful, too; and is said to have been inspired by the ‘Maltese Falcon’:

If the problem is vertical clearance, how much is the yacht taller than the bridge? If is is less than a foot or so, just bilge the yacht down into the water until the highest point clears the bridge. Also, wouldn’t it be cheaper to reduce water flow under the bridge for a short zip under the obstruction?
Yup. I deal with problems like this almost every day.
Between that and deciding which bikini model I’ll be spending the night with.
Life is hard...
Or let the air out of the tires and sail out at low tide.
Can’t his penis rocket just pick the boat up and deposit it after the bridge.
A$$}{0£€ special ordered it that way to get more press on himself with the Bridge escapade.
Narcissistic just like the zer0. LOOK AT ME, ME ME ME ME...
