Title: Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus' Launched in the Netherlands Post by: HCK on October 30, 2012, 11:00:34 am Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus' Launched in the Netherlands
Earlier this year, it was revealed that French designer Philippe Starck was working with Dutch shipbuilder Feadship on a new yacht for the family of Steve Jobs. The yacht had been mentioned in Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs as a project he had been working on since 2009, but the ship was not completed before his death last year. Dutch site One More Thing now reports [Google translation] that the ship, christened "Venus", has officially launched, with Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs and their three children participating in the event.
