85 Foot Luxury Yacht Built in Turkish Shipyard Almost Immediately After Launching Lists Over and Sinks

 

Mankind has been building ships for years
Trying to make ships “unsinkable” so under the waves they would not disappear
Sadly since the days of the Titanic  Mother Nature with her weather and navigation tools
Will be the judge whether a ship can remain afloat when it with the ocean’s fury or navigator’s duels
One of which is the location of the center of gravity rule
If the ship has too much weight above its center of gravity it will the shipyard builders befool
If the ship lists and the weight of the ship is too far above its center of gravity
It may not right itself and leads to a sinking calamity
In Turkey an 85 foot luxury yacht misnamed Dolce Vento or Sweet Wind
Slid down the quays in calm seas to reveal its blue prints belonged in the trash bin
Almost immediately it listed over and began to sink
With crew members scrambling to save their lives and jumping overboard into the drink
The cause of the immediate sinking is under investigation
But as certain as the Sun will rise tomorrow look for a lot of yacht building cancellations
