This ship sounds perfect for a new addition to Carnival Cruise Lines.

If I recall correctly, this rodent represents Hollywood.

"If a rumor got started that there's a news camera on board
looking for officials and other spokespeople, a number of pols,
poverty pimps, and community activists will flock to it, taking
along quite a bit of journ-o-lists."
I like your plan; it has the most chances of success, it's an excellent
choice..and baited w/ US Taxpayers' $$$$..an Real human interest story.
but one problem, Animal Cruelty..all those Rats and Marxists/1ship.

Salvage rights! But before you board—take a troop of Rat Terriors.

Tell me this is photoshopped. I remember him as ugly and with huge nostrils but not this HUGE!

Old hulks aren’t a treasure. The ship is almost 50 years old. It was up for sale for four million before it was eventually sold for $275,000. latching onto a drifting ship with no onboard help is a dangerous operation. I’m not surprised the Canadians said f**k it.

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.

The US if the productive decide to go Galt.

Demented? This is a gratuitous insult to disease-ridden inbred cannibal rats everywhere.

Why can’t they just bomb it and sink it?

Target practice for any interested navy. A few well-placed 3 inch rounds would sink her.

It sounds sturdy from the point of surviving abandonment. The diesel engines have almost 50 years of wear. With their money, the Saudis can afford new and all the latest gadgets. I wasn’t impressed by the bridge.

“I would have given this cruise a five-star rating but for the poor performance of our demented, disease-ridden cannibal rat room steward, Ben. I had specifically asked him to deliver hot tea to the cabin every day at exactly three pm. It was always lukewarm. He always had some excuse about dodging the other cannibal rats and how this slowed him down. I told him that was unacceptable. The Bentley-Smythes remarked at the Captain’s table the night before we disembarked that their demented, disease-ridden cannibal rat room steward even made towel animals for their room! And Ben couldn’t even get us hot tea. Well, needless to say, Ben didn’t get much of a tip.”

.
It’s worth a ton of money, why sink it?

It could easily be fumigated and put to profitable use.
