You may recall the World of ResidentSea, is the “condo ship” that sails millionaires around the world, all while staying in the comfort of private residences.

Ship Photo THE WORLD[1]

Intending to be around 80,000 grt she turned out to be only 40,000grt. I never did get a clear explanation of what when wrong and how she came out so different. But I guess that is the way of concept ships. Remember she is the first ship to try this out.

But hey, at least they will never get any money to build the Freedom Ship.
