The Jumbo Kingdom, Hong Kong’s iconic floating restaurant that served customers for over 44 years at the city’s Aberdeen Harbour, has capsized while heading towards an unknown destination, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
A three-story vessel, Jumbo Kingdom, was established in 1976 after a purse of HK$30 million (US$3.82 million) was spent to design and build it. With an area of 45,000 square feet (4,500 sq m) and a seating capacity for 2,300 diners, Jumbo Kingdom held the honor of the world’s largest restaurant at one time, CNN reported.
The famous restaurant consisted of a large boat which was 260 feet (80 m) long, a smaller but older boat that hosted a sister restaurant, a barge for seafood tanks, a separate boat that served as the kitchen, and eight smaller boats that ferried visitors from nearby piers.
