Displaying a bravado we can only admire, former SH writer Ric Stockfis managed to talk his way aboard a rusting music-themed ship on the Huangpu last weekend. Moored just south of the Pudong-side ferry terminal, the ship was - according to the guard - called “New Century” and used for singing, dancing and dining at least a decade or two ago.
It may have been unbearably tacky in its heyday, but with a layer of rust over its long-faded colors, this ghost “singing ship” has turned post-apocalyptically beautiful.



i'm surprised that no one has commented on your headline.
good job, very clever!
Nice job - I remember seeing this boat last year and thinking it would be very nice to do something like The Frying Pan in NYC with it. http://www.fryingpan.com/
