Top of the line sound insulation, doubt it would have been that noisy? I suspect Chelsea river-side apartment owners killed it off. Battery power is great... shame they weren't powerful enough to run the cooking equipment in the banquet kitchen. It was already built before anybody gave any thought to the kitchens 🤦♂
Was ment to be floating nightclub cruising the river loading and unloading at butlers wharf near tower bridge locals campaigned about two thousand people disembarking at after midnight no toilets and traffic due to taxis on narrows streets.
The linked blog post (link in details section) provides more background to the project. The vessel is a floating entertainment venue that was to be used on the Thames in London.
@@andrewchristy5747 We had a similar vessel on the Brisbane river. When the weather was not so good it came up river to our suburb. Nothing like the doof, doof, doof music to wake the children and set the neighborhood dogs off.
@@philgray3443 this vessel was designed and built more for the corporate market and not as a "party" vessel with very high levels of sound insulation - as it never operated it is impossible to say what it's noise footprint would actually be.
An obscure little boat. Great video and an even better article that is linked above.
Thank you, glad you liked the article 😊
They can always use the "Royal Iris" instead. Oh no, it's just been left to rust😢

This is false information - not a nightclub, not 2000 people, not after midnight at Butlers Wharf.
Where are they taking her
Liked the video. No Sound?
No, too much wind noise.
@@andrewchristy5747Stupid me, of course, the wind must have been bad on the open River. Thank you very much, I enjoyed the video,
@@fp30e not silly, a fair question, you can see the camera movements due to wind too. Glad you liked it 👍🙂
Oh dear, were they unable to re-charge the Batteries from Mayor Khan's Grid?
Access to power supplies wasn't the problem.
Seriously?
No!
What is this boat used for?

Ah thanks for that all becomes clear now

What was her destination?
Initially Rotterdam
Thanks !
A battery powered boat being towed by a diesel tug😂
Pretty obvious really given how few long-distance battery powered tugs exist at this point 🤔
Monstrosity!
Not a good looking vessel, the steelwork looks to be very poorly finished off, general cargo ships are built to a nicer finish than her.
Yes, the finish looks quite poor in several areas!
What a monstrosity , good riddance.
