Silver Shalis - a Mega Yacht With an Interesting Story
We are presently docked at Road Town in the British Virgin Islands.
Down at the end of our dock is a huge mega yacht somewhere in the 170 to 180 ft range. It literally looks like a minature cruise ship and is just perfect in every detail. It is documented to an offshore corporation but a little digging around on the web pulled up more information. It turns out that it is owned (indirectly) by a fellow named Larry Silverstein. He is a major NY real estate develper and the lease holder of the original World Trade Center site. The boat is named after the first part of his last name, Silver, and his two daughters, Shari and Lisa. Silverstein was involved in a major insurance dispute after the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. His insurance company claimed that the attack counted as one insurable incident. Silverstein counter claimed that it was actually two incidents. Don't remember how that turned out - I'll leave it as a homework exercise. http://svsuzyq.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/silver-shalis-an-interesting-story/ https://www.google.com/search?q=yacht+silver+shalis&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u& source=univ&sa=X&ei=9j4_UY_6LI-g8QTrgYHQCg&ved=0CDEQsAQ&biw=1008&bih=567 |
