The photograph is from a Daily Mail article: "Eerie photos show abandoned party ship where gamblers 'simply vanished' at sea with games now 'frozen in time'." The article indicates that "[t]he Blue Horizon casino cruise ship, which sailed out of the Port of Palm Beach, disbanded operations less than a year after being launched in 2015." Apparently it was one of those ships that would take short cruises into international waters so people could legally gamble, as gambling was illegal or very limited in Florida at that time. Once Florida loosened its laws on gambling, the article relates, the casino cruise ship business was no longer profitable. There are other photos at the link including an exterior shot of the ship and several more interior shots.
So very cool.
