Ghost Ship

The Guest List yacht that has been stranded in Hampton may be up for grabs soon. Take a look at some other "ghost ships" and shipwrecks.

Who else is fascinated by the Guest List? The 75 foot yacht has been in Hampton for almost a year. Rumors have been flying since the yacht appeared, and soon it may be up for grabs! The owners of the yacht have until Oct. 12, to remove it, at which point the state will give the Guest List to the highest bidder/anyone willing to remove it. So, who wants a new yacht??

TSS Duke of LancasterWhen the ship retired, it was converted into a “leisure center,” but the initiative failed, and the ship soon became covered in rust and graffiti. A new initiative has commissioned graffiti artists to paint large scale artwork on the ship, which has now essentially become an art gallery.
