Rotterdam has agreed to temporarily dismantle part of its historic Koningshaven Bridge so that Jeff Bezos′ 417-foot (127m) tall, three-mast yacht can pass through the waterway sometime this northern hempishere summer, says a spokeswoman for the city’s municipality.

Dutch company Oceano has been building the massive vessel for a cost estimated to be $US500 million ($701 million) in the nearby city of Alblasserdam. Once completed this year, the ship, known as Y721, is set to become the world’s largest sailing yacht, says Boat International.
