Trivia
Any details, considerations, events or pieces of information regarding the word

  1. Did you know that the term 'yacht' originally comes from the Dutch word 'jacht', which means 'hunt'? Early yachts were actually designed to be used for hunting purposes, particularly for catching fish in the open sea. Over time, however, the use of yachts began to shift away from their original hunting purpose and towards more recreational and luxury uses. Today, the term 'yacht' is generally used to refer to a large, luxurious boat that is designed for recreational or pleasure uses, rather than for any practical or functional purposes such as transportation or cargo carrying.

  2. Did you know that the largest yacht in the world is currently the Azzam, which was built in 2013 and measures an impressive 180 meters (590 feet) in length. The Azzam is so large that it is actually longer than the height of the Burj Khalifa, which is currently the tallest building in the world, measuring 828 meters (2,717 feet) in height. The Azzam is also one of the most expensive yachts in the world, with an estimated cost of over €600 million (approximately US$790 million)! Despite its massive size, incredible cost, and seemingly unattainable luxury, the Azzam is actually owned by a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family, who has reportedly used the yacht for various royal functions and diplomatic missions.

  3. Did you know that the Guinness World Records currently recognizes the largest collection of rubber ducks as belonging to Charlotte Lee of Long Beach, California, USA? Charlotte's collection, which she began building in 1992, currently consists of over 9,000 individually numbered rubber ducks, which she stores in various locations throughout her home and office. Charlotte's rubber duck collection has earned her numerous media appearances, public speaking engagements, and other opportunities to showcase her unique and captivating collection. Charlotte's rubber duck collection is also a source of inspiration and motivation for Charlotte herself, as well as for others who have been touched and moved by the simple yet profound beauty and charm of Charlotte's collection of rubber ducks.
