A Sweet Deal

A curious sight awaits pedestrians on a sunlit sidewalk—a dismantled piece of a boat bearing bright red evidence of being sold at half price. The idea of a maritime relic finding its way to dry land might lead to a humorous thought about this being the ultimate in discount sailing—get half a boat at half the price.

The fascination with nautical artifacts and their repurposing is not uncommon. Collectors and adventure enthusiasts often seek items salvaged from vessels, large and small. Whether it’s for unique décor or a symbolic representation of exploration, these pieces find new homes on dry land. But we doubt this will sell.
