The story comes to us from Captain Richard Rodriguez’s BitterEnd blog. He calls it a sign of the coming apocalypse.
MV The World will make a call here in Friday Harbor on Monday and Tuesday next week.
Info via Wikipedia:
The World flies a Bahamas flag and has a gross tonnage of 43,524 tons. The vessel is 644 feet (196 m) long, 98 feet (30 m) wide, and has a 22-foot (6.7 m) draft, 12 decks, and a maximum speed of 18.5 knots (34.3 km/h). The crew numbers 250.
The ship has 165 residential units (106 apartments, 19 studio apartments, and 40 studios), all owned by the ship’s residents. The ship carries between 100 and 300 residents and their guests.
MV World Website(Ed. note: I’ve never seen a vessel this large in our local waters. She will anchor out and tender folks in. For comparison, the WSF Super Class vessels are 2,813 gross tons. They are typically the largest vessels regularly plying local waters.)
Wow! It’s like a car wreck. I fear to look, yet I cannot turn away! Keep us updated, Richard.
