It’s just like a full service hotel but relocates once in a while so you can see more places without changing rooms, packing or dealing with airports.
I do not suggest the cruises with very long periods at sea though. Tried once and it does feel boring not being able to leave after 2-3 days.

I had a sailboat once
Unfortunately it sunk.
My ‘friends’ made me watch the movie “All is Lost” with some famous actor guy who was certainly not paid by the word.
And still they give me crap

Inflation was pretty high back then so I imagine the merchants were trying to get as much money into dollars and pounds as quickly as possible and what better way than to fleece some clueless tourists.

Seattle & Portland should go halvsies on it, to “solve” their homeless problems.
Or, maybe San Fransicko, the same.

The Gustloff is at only 144 feet and was dived on a lot until Poland declared it a grave site.

In the Army, I was issued a ruck sack, road marched for miles on end, bivouacked, eaten alive by mosquitoes and chiggers, but it least got paid to do it.
In the civilian world, people pay inordinate amounts for backpacking gear in order to ruck for miles, pitch a tent, get eaten by mosquitoes and chiggers and call at vacation.
I have to think most Navy vets look at cabin cruises with the same sense of irony.

I think I saw a documentary on it. They showed clothing, etc. but no bodies. Pretty good re-enactment of the end of her.

So, turn it into a floating housing project? I’m sure that would end well.

I wonder how many Chinese soldiers could be crammed on board for a Taiwan port call?

That photo does not comport with the article: “the vessel’s half-finished keel — complete only in the lower-hull area”

As if we need another sign of the coming economic depression.
