The splendor of sailing

Last summer, while walking in Ala Wai Harbor visiting TransPac finishers, I came upon a boat with some Long Beach history. With everyone safer at home these days, it is an ideal opportunity to provide the current status on vessels like this one.

I spotted the 60-foot yacht Splendour in Honolulu. The powerboat once belonged to actor Robert Wagner and his wife, actress Natalie Wood. She died of an apparent drowning on Nov. 29, 1981, while the yacht was on a mooring in Catalina.
