Goodbye To The Lakeshore’s “Famous” Sailboat
Today Pavel Bernek’s little wrecked sailboat, the Falcon, was removed from Lake Michigan in pieces.
It is really hard to say why the wrecked sailboat along the shore of Lake Michigan has gotten so much attention, but I couldn’t resist driving along Lincoln Memorial Parkway to see it for myself. The sailboat’s visibility certainly had much to do with its popularity - even the most distracted driver can’t help but notice the forlorn little ship bobbing in the cold water. But the ship’s sad story was the real draw - Bernek’s dream of sailing the world was dashed upon Lake Michigan’s rocky shore by the novice sailor. Bernek has since returned to his native Europe, essentially abandoning it and leaving the salvage efforts to others.
The salvage team that has been struggling with the ship’s removal since the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Coast Guard have declined to act finally removed the ship today, in pieces.
