False claim

[edit]

I've taken the liberty of removing the sentence in the opening section which said "Famous charterers include actors Tom Hanks, Hugh Jackman, and Google co-founder Larry Page." This information was added by user 166.84.1.2 on 12:49, 30 September 2016‎. In a glorious example of how NOT to use your sources, the Larry Page claim was based on an article about Page hiring Maltese Falcon's captain to work on another yacht; the Hanks and Jackman claims were based on the yacht's crew profile which described its cook as "[...] having worked [...] as a private chef [...] for such celebrities as Hugh Jackman and Tom Hanks."

Unfortunately, this information has now been plastered all over the internet. Funnily enough, later unsourced additions to this section were removed for lacking sources. But there you go. Vadim Galimov (talk) 14:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
