Description:

As the museum project never lifted off the ground, she has been sold to Bangladeshi breakers recently.

By definition, museums that do not deal with French surrealism or Van Gogh rarely make money; "Bow Hunter" museum project was supposed to highlight the achievements of Daewoo shipyard, which was a pretty narrow scope for a technical museum, and would definitely not cover all the expenses. So, it was to depend on the handouts from the state, or the shipyard itself.
In the end, its fate was sealed by the crisis of Korean shipbuilding. And there's still a pretty good maritime museum not even 10 km away from the spot.
So, this is my modest contribution, from the times when she still had a future ahead of her.
