Horace Glass, who tried in vain to rebuild the famous German yacht linked to the dictator, said he has no regrets for tackling the huge task.
, a Germany boat known widely as"Hitler's yacht," was simple.
For more than 11 years in Jacksonville, beginning in 1971, he tried to restore the Ostwind, raising it from the muck of the Intracoastal Waterway, pouring time and money into saving it, and fending off offers from American Nazis to buy it — only to see it fall prey to the elements, to vandals and to the steady march of time.
Glass said much of the repair work on the Ostwind fell to his five daughters, who spent countless hours aboard. But chasing that dream became a"full-time occupation," one reporter wrote, while another noted that the Glasses"gave up a commercial art and advertising business and eventually sold three houses, two from previous marriages, to pour everything into restoring the yacht.”Glass, meanwhile, said he had no regrets."No, none at all.”Everett describes her father as a free spirit,"an old hippie," someone who didn't want to work for anyone else.
