Blue Origin ship leaves Pensacola

PENSACOLA, Fla. - The Blue Origin ship "Jacklyn" that's been at the downtown dock for three years was towed away Sunday. It's tentatively scheduled to head to Brownsville, Texas, where it could be scrapped. The 600-foot former cargo ship has been docked at the Port of Pensacola since 2018 undergoing a retrofit to enable it to serve as a landing platform for the first stage of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. But in April, Blue Origin confirmed to the News Journal that the company was looking at "different options" for landing and recovering its rockets. (Source: Pensacola News Journal, 08/16/22)
