SUMMARY: The Lady Katherine III sailboat, which became a temporary landmark on Pensacola Beach after being spotted as a ghost ship in June, has now been removed due to weather concerns. Crews demolished the 55-foot derelict vessel, which had drawn tourists but was also seen as an eyesore and a hindrance to public access and lifeguard operations. The boat washed ashore after its crew was rescued, and the removal process was initiated after it was declared derelict by law enforcement. The project cost over $39,000, marking the end of the Lady Katherine III’s presence on the beach.

What’s become a landmark on Pensacola Beach over the last few months has now been removed.
