Abandoned cruise ship filled with cannibal rats headed for British shore
The Lyubov Orlova has been detected off the coast of Scotland. Its only passengers are demented, disease-ridden rats feeding off each other.
An abandoned cruise liner teeming with inbred cannibal rats is adrift in the Atlantic Ocean and possibly about to run aground on Britain’s coastline, according to a new report.
The Lyubov Orlova has been drifting east from Canadian waters since last year.
Newly detected beacons off the dilapidated vessel’s rescue boats indicate it is was recently off the west coast of Scotland, raising concerns it could run ashore there, along the west coast of Ireland or the southern tip of England, according to The Sun.
Salvage hunters are keen to find the dilapidated 300-foot ghost ship that can carry 110 passengers because it is estimated to be worth nearly $1 million.
But once aboard, the scrappers will face unimaginable horror: a demented, disease-ridden population of rats that have been feeding on each other and breeding.
"There will be a lot of rats, and they eat each other,” Belgian-based salvage hunter Pim de Rhoodes told the tabloid. “If I get aboard, I'll have to lace everywhere with poison."
The ship was built in 1976 and primarily toured Antarctic waters. It was abandoned in a Canadian harbor in Sept. 2010 by its indebted owners.
In January of last year it was sold to the Dominican Republic for scrap, but the tow line broke while en route. After harnessing the ship again, the Canadian government elected to cut it loose in international waters, saying it posed no threat to other vessels or offshore oil drilling platforms.

Right! Keith posted the link to “Three Skeleton Key” in comment #38. :-)
Well played.
Oh well. Nobody gets it but us. I gave a link so maybe someone will listen.
LOL! I have a couple here who might volunteer!
He is just one of many in Congress who are likely the Rats on board. My question...how did they manage to get aboard, and who of the Rats and Rinos on board will be left after all the cannabalizing? Hopefully Reid and Pelosi will be the first to be cannibalized...along with McCain and a few other Rinos.
Note that these old Rats are mostly past the means to reproduce, so maybe we can leave this thing adrift until all are cannibalized.
