Is this how it ends? After 73 years?

I am heart broken. My dream girl ADAQUA is in trouble. I was forced to sell her off last month too cheaply, but not living in Australia at the moment, was unable to take care of her. Thinking that if I sold her cheap, someone would be able to not spend too much on the purchase price but could easily afford to look after her, and one day I would come home and even buy her back again. But these thoughts appear to be over…. It appears she broke from her new moorings in Melbourne and washed up on the beach at Port Melbourne, where she was left abandoned for many 
days until this happened. It appears someone broke in a torched her. Is this the final undignified end for an historic grand old lady. 73 years old, she deserved a better end. To think all the times we had together, weekends and holiday weeks on Portarlington pier, Melbourne docklands, rounding Cape Schank in Bass Straight, New years even parties on the waterfront. It’s all to depressing to think of…Channel 9 NE
