    The more I read and hear about this the more I shake my head.

    Some local Civitavecchia creditors of Konig, Royalton's company operating the Privilege Yard, have been told that Tankoa will be paying the debts.
    There have been other reports that Tankoa Yachts will be taking the property from Royalton Investment.
    Still landlocked and still hard to make a shipyard on the property.
    Maybe Tankoa holds the secret.

    Saw this image on IG posted of her. This was the extent the project got to.

    Except for the primer paint, which is now worn and given into rust, this picture would be the same today.
    However, Google Earth offers a bit of hocus-pocus and erected a virtual shroud over this boat.
    See photos below.

    Tankoa Yacht has taken over one of the warehouses on the property.
    The photo below was taken by a Tankoa employee in August 2024.
    No one from Tankoa or the local community has ever seen such a cover on this boat, and certainty not now

    Can anyone offer an explanation, or theory of what Google is up to ?

    Who knows what mayhem lies in the minds of those geeks.

    This doesn’t look digitally erected. The scaffolding is real and was erected to protect the bones from the elements. Keep in mind Google Earth images aren’t necessarily current.

    Again last month....
    There was never any actual shrouding since 2013 when the workers walked off the job.

    Here’s a pic from earlier in this thread (circa 2014) showing it covered but doesn’t appear to be the same material…

    I know little of any new news.
    I just am sad this ship is still sitting, collecting land rust.

    This is definitely Google tradecraft.
    The photos from 150, 155, & 156 are accurate.
