 The veteran passenger liner "La Jenelle", once removed from her role as a cruise liner, lay at anchor off Port Hueneme on April 14, 1970 awaiting plans for conversion to a floating restaurant.The owners were attempting to cut down on moorage costs by leaving the vessel at anchor in the open ocean, directly offshore.With only one watchman aboard, the vessel fell victim to storm-tossed seas, causing the ship to slip her anchor cables.
