The Ocean Dreamwalker III docked in Grimsby last week. It is a luxury super yacht valued at 30 million pounds. It docked at the old fishing docks. That means it docked in Grimsby UK. The owner is Chinese technology pioneer John Deng Zhonghan whose wife is a celebrated singer in China. A helicopter can land on the boat. It was reported that they are looking for something larger with better helicopter capabilities. Its helicopter was visible on the deck in the pictures.
Over here in Grimsby Ontario, there used to be a pier/wharf. It was significant. In 1884, fifty thousand people came to Grimsby Park - that was a high point of the Chautauqua era. Many arrived via steamboats from Toronto. There are some impressive steamers in the pictures - for example 'Turbina'. You can see them HERE.
The marine traffic today is focused on the Welland Canal. Last week a luxury cruise ship - the Hamburg - went through the Welland Canal. That's how I found the Ocean Dreamwalker - it came up in the search for the Welland Canal story.
