I hate to take Paul Wilson’s side, but c’mon, the Ady Gil was chopped in half, there was no saving it.

No worries, you're not taking his side. He denied it.

The thing stayed afloat for two days and there were winch’s on board the larger vessel. I dunno, Maybe it was totaled.

Anyway Pirates harrassing azzhole whalers is the way I see this.
Like the man says it’s hard to find anyone to root for here.

Having spent a life at sea, I have to disagree. There was most assuredly a watertight bulkhead between that bow section and the rest of the boat. It took just the forwardmost portion off. Plenty of hull integrity left to keep afloat. I was highly trained in damage control at sea and feel confident in the previous statement.

Ady Gil was 78' long. It lost 8' of the bow, which would have been mostly empty space.

We can rebuild her. We have the technology
