The enormous three-masted Y721 was stuck and could not get under the famous Koningshaven Bridge, locally known as De Hef, because the masts were too high. The chronicled landmark was rebuilt after being bombed by the Nazis during WW2 and would have had to temporarily lose its central section to fit the luxury yacht underneath. And the Amazon founder’s monster vessel has now been relocated from the Oceanco shipyard in Alblasserdam to the Greenport yard just 24 miles away in Rotterdam, according to Der Spiegel.

Bezos – the world’s second richest man – had previously offered to stump up the cash for the work alongside the shipping company. Officials previously said De Hef would not be dismantled again after it was renovated from 2014 to 2017. A video of the towing was uploaded to YouTube by Dutch yacht enthusiast Hanco Bol.

Bol claims that the yacht’s route was designed to avoid travelling through the Rotterdam city center and underneath Koningshaven bridge — even though it would have saved more time.
