Politics had nothing to do with it. He was in way over his head and didn't have the money. When rebuilding/ restoring a vessel, you start from the bottom up. Not the top-down like he did. He never put it into drydock because he didn't have the money to do it. Unfortunately, it's a wasted effort for those who gave their time or money.

It is a bit sad, the old owner could not fix/repair/restore as fast as the ship decayed and finally ran out of finances and motivation, a new owner without any understanding about the state of the ship jumped into buying it and apparently did not take measures to 24/7 surveillance regarding water intrusion and a way to remove eventually water, you even need this on brand new boats. The ship needed at dry dock, sand blasting, and then an thorough investigation of the state of the hull, and the result may very well be that it is too expensive to fix the hull, and to come to this conclusion will cost a lot of money. I would not be surprised if it would had turned out to be cheaper to build a new hull than to repair the existing one, sorry.

@@benzproducts Money is the answer, Chris was running out of money/time/motivation/enthusiasm/etc. He had properly been told many times, over the years, by people that understand old ships, that the condition of his ship was "bad" or as a minimum "questionable" and that he need dry dock, sand blasting, and a thorough investigation of the state of the hull just to get a realistic estimate about the state of the ships hull, that is very expensive, and it is money you will not be able to get back if the condition turns out to be bad. The line of car/ship owners that had done a thorough investigation of the state of their thing and then realized that it was way more bad than they had hoped for is long, very long, the line of those that just hoped "it will be ok, I will just go on fixing it step by step" and then suddenly the thing breaks into pieces, is even longer. Old used cars is bad, old used ships is even more bad, the numbers of dreamers is endless, unscrupulous used car/ship salesmen's make a damn good living from these dreamers.

Whoever gave permission for this ship to be docked there should be fired. It's a 70 year old 2500 ton ship that hasn't had any actual maintenance in at least 30 years, it was inevitable that it would sink at the dock sooner or later. Now the taxpayers are on the hook for the cost of cleanup and salvage. Not to mention that the ship is an "attractive nuisance", a place where homeless and vandals will be drawn to. Just complete incompetence on the part of the City Council. There is no insurance on this ship. It hasn't had a positive net worth in decades. Who would insure it?
