“The Castellani faction, known also as the ‘red shrimps’, was largely made up of shipbuilders from Venice’s east. The core of the Nicolotti, or the ‘shadows’, were fishermen from the west [who] ... showed their partisan loyalties with red and black clothing and fighting caps”

Some yachts are the playthings of billionaires. Others, despite their opulent touches, are small family businesses, which are facing growing competition from new entrants accused of skirting a federal law meant to protect U.S. shipbuilders, vessel owners and mariners.

It’s less a ride and more just you listening to actors reading out first hand accounts of the shipbuilders while you glide through a facsimile of the Harland & Wolff shipyards. Nothing exciting but nothing offensive either.

Small family yacht businesses are facing growing competition from new entrants they accuse of skirting a 140-year-old federal law meant to protect U.S. shipbuilders, vessel owners and mariners.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE LAST SHIP at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

And I wonder how the workers at Maine’s own shipbuilders, BIW, will think of this. Selling out her own state.
"Navatek’s CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica."
Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.

The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.

Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

You know what really fucking pisses me off?

Not only did Susan Collins take a bribe from a Hawaiian Navy Contractor, in doing so, Collins sold out Maine’s Bath Iron Works— one of America’s greatest shipbuilders for the Navy.

And BIW builds ships the Navy ACTUALLY wants.

Kolkata-based GRSE launches indigenous ocean research vessel 'Sagar Manthan'
GRSE on Wednesday (September 9, 2026) launched 'Sagar Manthan', an indigenous ocean research vessel being built for the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR), in a major boost to India's capabilities in deep-sea exploration and scientific research. A top government official said the ₹840-crore research vessel is expected to be ready for use by early 2028. Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences Jitendra Singh congratulated Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) and the Ministry of Earth Sciences on the launch and naming of the vessel and conveyed his wishes on the occasion. Earth Sciences secretary Srinivasa Kumar Tummala, who was present at the launch event, said the vessel is being built as part of the government's Deep Ocean Mission and will significantly enhance the country's ability to undertake scientific research in the Indian Ocean region and beyond. "This ship will enhance the capabilities of our scientific community to go out and conduct scientific research in the Indian Ocean region and wherever we have an interest in scientific research," Mr. Tummala said. “The vessel was launched at GRSE's Rishi Bankim Shipyard, barely five months after its keel was laid, highlighting the shipyard's ability to achieve construction...

CONTRACT WON: 800+ Navy shipbuilders in San Diego ratified a contract with nearly 20% wage hikes over three years. A year ago, their union density was 21%. They organized it to 67% before negotiating.

More members. More leverage. Bigger contract. That is how worker power works.
