The City of Rotterdam’s plans to dismantle the middle part of the historic railway bridge De Hef (‘The Lever’) later this year, to allow Jeff Bezos’s new superyacht* to pass under, is not sitting well with everyone (of course not).
The deck of the bridge can be lifted 130 ft, but that will not suffice for the tallest of the yacht’s three masts.
Bezos will reportedly pay for the dismantling and reassembly of the bridge deck. So what is the problem? 🙂
*A three-masted schooner made of aluminum and steel, the $ 500-million, 417-feet Oceanco Y721 yacht will be the largest sailing yacht in the world when completed.
