It capsized yesterday near the Paracel Islands after it"encountered adverse conditions" and began to take on water, Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises announced in a statement.
Operator Melco International Development said last month the business had not been profitable since 2013 and cumulative losses had exceeded HK$100 million . The restaurant set off shortly before noon last Tuesday from the southern Hong Kong Island typhoon shelter where it had sat for nearly half a century.
A deliberate act to save cost of maintenance maybe? Anyway it’s forever gone, just like other symbols that made Hong Kong once thrived. Credit: AhTo_comic

Hong Kong is a floating restaurant sinking into the sea.
Weirdly symbolic of Hong Kong's fate now that the Chinese government have taken full control. Glad I got to visit Jumbo, it was a great place.
Very sad
Yeah for British insurance lol
