Oops!

My Song, a 130-foot Baltic 130 Custom superyacht, owned by billionaire Pier Luigi Loro Piana, was in transport between the Spanish island of Mallorca and the Italian city of Genoa when a storm in the early hours of Sunday broke the yacht's cradle on top of a cargo ship and plunged it into the sea.

It was a beauty.



The Miami Herald said the cradle on the cargo ship deck (a pedestal designed, manufactured, and guaranteed by the yacht manufacturer) suddenly collapsed during high seas, plunging the superyacht into the Mediterranean.
New pictures have emerged of the half-sunken yacht seen 40 nautical miles northeast of Menorca (Spain).
Now the fishes can enjoy it.


Glub, glub, club...

The vessel maintained visual contact with My Song until the air and sea search was initiated. As of 0900hr BST on 28th May 2019 the salvage attempts are still on-going. To ensure the safety of the remaining yachts, Peters & May have instructed the carrying vessel to continue her planned voyage to Genoa. No other yachts have been affected by this incident.
