Looked up the Kalakala. Reminds me a lot of the Admiral which was a familiar sight on the Mississippi in St Louis when I lived there. SS Admiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As the wiki article says, it's now scrap, and from the photos of the Kalakala it's not far behind.

As for Jobs' boat, it'll probably wind up in the hands of a Middle-east oil sheik.
