No it’s not a U.S. Navy or Coast Guard ship though it looks big enough to be.
I took this photograph Sunday while on the beach at Sullivan’s Island. The yacht was heading into Charleston Harbor. A little online research found that this “boat” is worth a whopping $130 million. The owner is big too in the business world: the CEO of Sears Eddie Lampert. The 59-year-old is said to be a billionaire and that sounds about right. The flag flying from the stern is that of Cayman Islands. Less surprisingly, Lampert also has a Wikipedia site.
Another Yacht steamed toward Charleston earlier in the day. This one is called Homecoming. She is 136 feet long. An online look did not reveal Homecoming’s owner but we did learn it was built in Taiwan.
This wasn’t Lampert and Fountainhead’s first visit to the Holy City. The Post and Courier had an article and photo of the yacht in the paper in August 2017.
