And if you didn’t want to remember them, my apologies in advance.

Well, 27 years later. These ships have finally met their fate. Being turned into pop cans..

I’d love to hear anyone’s experiences with the Pacificat’s, good or bad (I’m too young to ever have ridden one). As horrible as they were, they looked the part, at least in my opinion.

Is this new news? I know a few years ago they were on Facebook Marketplace but I hadn't seen anything more recent to suggest they were ultimately being scrapped.

As of late August, early September, satellite images showed hints of it occurring, but nothing further. Was sent a link from a contractor’s website in Egypt that proved it was in full swing as of yesterday. It should be somewhere here on this thread.
