any ideas on the sinking of the restaurant. is anyone familiar with it
is this a wood barge?
does look like any preparations were done on the main deck level to make it water tight. I dont see plywood over the lower doors and windows

Jumbo Floating was steel. Photo under tow showed questionable readiness for sea. Low freeboard open construction. Did they think water shipped would roll out ?

The secret destination was alongside in Atlantis
that was my observation the main deck at the least should have been sealed as well as all tanks and voids and a couple of 6 inch pumps put aboard with a riding crew

I was not there and do not know what preparations were done to satisfy the MWS, if one was engaged.
It is the beginning of the SW monsoon season in the South China Sea, but the northern reach of the monsoon front had not got as far as the Paracel Island at the time of sinking AFAIK.
PS> Heavy squalls are common in the transition period between the two monsoons though.
Thanks for the info. Guess they thought it was going to be like a lake.
Iâm used to the west coast of the US. And Hawaii Pretty rough weather all year round I just moved to the east coast canât believe they tow on wire bridals and soft line going coastal
I used to seeing stud link chain bridals and wire rope
For completenessâ sake. There already was a topic about the sinking of the Jumbo restaurant.
I guess that the barge mate wasnât on $600 a day.
Also, what the hell is âJewish Lightningâ?
Or was that Lightering?
First/time I had dinner on the Floating Jumbo all I could think about was the fire inâNoble Houseâ kept looking for escape routes. Later thought capsizing & Sinking bigger risk. Turns out thatâs what got her.

I had to google it. It a slang term for arsen of your own property
For the insurance money
Like Melvin the torch
He constructs vacant lots
Pre-virus went for a river lunch in Paris and she said âWhere are the lifejackets and emergency exits?â.
I said, âEnjoy your lunch, itâs expensiveâ.
Bit of a worry though, in this day and age.
Ok, Iâm just catching up with the racist insurance stuff; who or what is Melvin?
Iâm not completely uneducated but sometimes it just all a bit off gangly.
Melvin was a Mafia arsenist
I had a roommate in college whoâs farther was a made guy
I was raised in Boston
Was that Boston Massachusetts or Boston Lincolnshire?
