Creator's Key Takeaways
the City of Stockton has refused to respond to our requests to take footage of the AURORA at the Lind Marine facility
this was shot outside the gate last Wednesday I did manage to walk up alongside the ship but was almost immediately shut down and escorted out
the Twisted irony here is that being dry docked is something that she's desperately needed for decades and now that she's in one it's to be cut up into scrap
why all of the secrecy so I took a look at Lynn's site and there's absolutely no mention of the Aurora project

What is it that they don't want us to know about the demise of this beautiful ship? The City Of Stockton has refused to respond to our requests to take footage of the AURORA at the Lind Marine facility at Mare Island, where she was towed last month for the sad process of demolition. The 70-year old passenger ship, which has enjoyed a rich history and a rollercoaster ride of a career, from pioneering cruise ship, "Bond yacht" to The Love Boat inspiration, homeless shelter, drug haven and, most recently YouTube star, will soon be cut up and melted down for her steel. Meanwhile, workers at the shipyard were under orders to not divulge any information about the ship's demolition after the City of Stockton's taxpayers had to foot the massive bill to raise and deliver the AURORA, which partially sank early last year. #aurorarestorationproject #wappenvonhamburg #theloveboat #oldships #classicships #xanadu #spectreyacht #scrapships #scrapyard #shipdemolition #historicships
