The Jumbo Floating Restaurant, a famous Hong Kong landmark has sunk, days after it was towed away from the harbor where it operated for nearly 50 years.
On June 19, 2022, while being towed in the South China Sea, it experienced bad weather and capsized near the Paracel Islands in waters over 3,000 feet deep. There were no casualties.
Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises said it was “very saddened by the incident” but that no crew members were injured.
The restaurant closed in March 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
More than 3 million guests are believed to have eaten its Cantonese cuisine over the years, including the Queen, Tom Cruise and Richard Branson.
It had featured in several films – including a Bond movie – but the pandemic dealt the business a fatal blow as diners turned away.
