    Looks like they've been taken down. I don't see them anymore.

    She is being transferred to Blohm & Voss in Hamburg inside the shed. The roof is off so hopefully we can have one of the photo teams do an aerial photography session.

    If there was a aerial shot that would be nice. I hope they don't scrap it. Would be ashamed.

    I've seen a picture from above in a German newspaper. If that vessel was not a constructive loss I'd be absolutely shocked.

    I agree with all the above but I was really surprised at how much of the yacht was left.
    After seeing the fire video, I thought it would be rendered down to piles of ash and melted metal and unrecognizable as ever being a yacht.

    Wow made me sad to see. I know for sure now there is no way she will be safer now. Looked like a nice design. Wish we could of seen it.

    Apparently the fire damaged project Sassi was the new Coral Island.

    Doesn't Peter Lurssen has a boat by the same name Coral Island? I remembered seeing it at Vegesack in 2003 one time and it was docked for maintenance.

    The original Coral Island was sold and re-named Coral Ocean a couple of years ago. She was featured in a publication at that time because she was being offered for charter, and the article noted that the new owners were a group of investors that include Peter Lurssen. He was quoted in the article regarding his involvement.

    That is indeed correct, Peter Lurssen was part of the investment group, the original Coral Island was built for a Saudi Sheikh that is related to Save Our Seas Foundation, Sassi was going to be the new Coral Island for that Individual according to reports.
