Jumbo Floating Restaurant, a faded landmark of Hong Kong, capsized in the South China Sea after being towed away from the city to an unknown destination.
The incident involving the imperial palace-shaped vessel occurred on Sunday after taking on water in adverse conditions near the Paracel Islands, its owner Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises Ltd. said in a statement. Salvage would be “extremely difficult” given the water depth of 1,000 meters, it said, adding no crew members were injured.
