A pity to junk all the ships though .... gotta be some other uses for them. The ultrarich could BUY them as private yachts ............ Better still, just scuttle them around the English fishing conservation areas. That would stop foreign fishing vessels from trawling and destroying our seas; and would create protected breeding areas for what is left of our fish stocks. https://www.theguardian.com/environm...aled-97-of-uk- offshore-marine-parks-subject-to-destructive-fishing Not the worst idea actually .... But the things are loaded with oils and plastics and toxic paint and ........... Floating amusement areas, shops ... might be popular in some places. A few people ARE rich enough to use at least the shorter ships as yachts. Some extra hospital ships might be wise, C-19 will not be the last epidemic after all. Maybe Musk can take off the top and launch and recover rockets ? In any case, it is a horrible waste to just scrap the things. |
