Havasu Pirate Ship

[Singleton]

Thinking it is not going to be operating for a few days

[BUDMAN]

At least it's not a sunken pirate ship

 

[Singleton]

It was supposed to support the Magic regatta BBQ at the sandbar Saturday

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Looks like a Goonies reenactment.

 

[hman442]

It's pointing straight up, like that daycruiser on Mead

 

[stephenkatsea]

Any idea where, when and how this happened? USCG can be very tough on this kind of deal. Believe it was USCG certified to carry passengers for hire. Very sorry to see this. The conversion added considerable wind profile to the original hull.

Couldn't help it...

It gets beached across from site 6. With direction of wind last night with storm, it got pushed into shore and looks to be there until a recovery crew is able to pull it off. Water was up yesterday and lower today

Was it on anchor and blown onto the beach?

 

[RIVERBORN]

Ughhhhhh. Havasu….. and the storm?

 

[Singleton]

It is normally beached bow on sand, stern anchored to beach, like a houseboat.
very little of hull is left in water and looks like the decks are damaged

Very sorry to hear this. What beach was used? Unmanned, I assume? On a houseboat, a little attention with bow on the beach, and using engines can avoid this.

 

[MagicMan]

Hopefully they are able to recover it quickly. This ship is a great addition to the lake.

It looks unattended at night. If you are not looking for it, you would miss it.

 

[tostark]

Didn’t it need to be saved from beaching near site 6 on the 4th of July weekend?

 

[Singleton]

Ughhhhhh. Havasu….. and the storm?

Was drinking with some Islander staff. All have said, that was the worst storm they have seen when you factor in wind and rain dating back to 1995. Islander storage rain gauge has over 2” this morning

 

[Havasujaws]

Saw it moving towards nautical on Thursday from site six area.

The storm cell that came over the island Thursday eve pummeled the Chemhuevi airport for at least a half hour before drifting/pushing itself over the island. Was gnarly to watch.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

The owners probably will want the “mountain of cocaine” to recoup the loss

Couldn't help it...

[Pebo]

Still there. Flew over it today in my sons plane.

It’s gonna be there forever.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

It’s gonna be there forever.

I’m surprised the state/feds haven’t raised holy hell yet

 

[cofooter]

It’s gonna be there forever.

Like a ship without a sail......

Going up a damn waterfall!

 

[Racer56]

If someone goes and pulls it off the beach do they get salvage rights and own the boat?

 

[185EZ]

I’m surprised the state/feds haven’t raised holy hell yet

Isn't that on Chemehuevi indian land?

 

[Singleton]

Isn't that on Chemehuevi indian land?

I believe so. Can’t believe some agency has not forced the owners to move it

 

[RiverDave]

I’m surprised the state/feds haven’t raised holy hell yet

I am as well.

 

[Wheeler]

It’s gonna be there forever.

Jet Daytona is putting together a salvage crew Later in the year.

Jet Daytona is putting together a salvage crew as I type this.

With all the "experts" on RDP, we should salvage that sucker!

A go fund me account might be in order.

I was thinking more along the lines of two or three center consoles with quad's or quint's and some Yankum ropes!

The fact that it wasn’t de-fueled within days (can’t find any reference to it online) and then either floated or cut up in a few weeks is crazy…


This was there statement over a month ago....

"We’re sure everyone has been made aware of the shipwreck this is both Siren’s Gate and our current state of affairs. In late July the ship was caught in a bad storm that did major engine damage and punctured the hull. We were out of commission for a few weeks bandaging it the best we could so we could be back on the water to honor our commitments to our customers. We had plans to take the ship back out in early December to rebuild the motors and further repair the boat. Unfortunately, right before Thanksgiving, as we were getting ready to moor both engines gave out and we were blown ashore. Overnight the water level dropped and we found ourselves on land. We were having a trailer built to pull the boat out once the level was a little higher. Since then, the ship has suffered further damage both by nature and vandals. Currently we are waiting for our insurance to make a final decision and then we will move forward. We do have another ship in the works and we are excited to have the last few months behind us and cannot wait for some smooth sailing! We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and encouragement.
Sincerely,
River Rat Yacht Club"

I bet they’d come out for that.

Probably not the plug is still in this boat
