I received a link about a yacht called "The Maltese Falcon". This is a new ship commissioned and owned by a man who obviously has more money than braincells.
I tried to post the entire set of pictures but failed. So I would suggest, that if you are interested, you type in the browser the words "Yacht the Maltese Falcon" and see if it appears. The photos are really good and it is an interesting vessel. I would not call it a beautiful thing fo look at but then I am not a boating enthusiast.

I would point out that there are several links for articles on this vessel. There is one picture with a model of the owner's Bugatti on the table. It is a porcelain model. Very large on a very large table. He grudgingly sold the real car to help pay for the boat.
There is also a video. I seem impressed but really I am shocked that millions of dollars were involved, and now it is for sale, and still we have people under the most difficult circumstances who would be grateful for one hundred dollars to try and save their lives.
When I woke up this morning I thought my neighbor was burning his burgers or something. Turns out the entire town (Boston) and most of New England was covered in smoke coming from forest fires up in Canada.

Peg
A lot of jobs were supplied by the building of that yacht. THe rich need to spend to keep others working. When the rich cant spend, like nowadays, then everyone is in trouble. _________________
