Correct. The U.S. Navy Hydrologic service was in charge of keeping track of them, and there were THOUSANDS of drifting and derelict hulks floating around the. North Atlantic.

Whenever a derelict was located, it was declared a `menace to navigation’ & dispatched to Davy Jones. If the Navy participated in rescuing passengers/crew from a burning ship at sea, they made sure it was sent to the bottom as the final act.
If collision with that Russian hulk results in loss of life, the Canadian government will be sued to a fare thee well.

The ship is named for the Soviet actress Lyubov Orlova. In 1936, the movie "Circus," in which she starred, introduced the Soviet patriotic song "Shiroka Strana, Moya Rodnaya" (vast country, my homeland). The original lyrics include the line, "in big golden letters, we write the Stalinist code." The song survived the Soviet Union and remains popular in Russia.
You can see the Lyubov Orlova perform the song at the conclusion of the movie by clicking here.

"How did democrats get on that ship?"
The article could have as easily described Detroit or Chicago.

Climate change cooling will probably kill all the rats and the media will have to go to rehab...

I sure wish we could send the entire DNC on a 2 week cruise aboard this ship. Obama and Biden can play the roles of Skipper and his first mate. Not real sure which would be which.

Aren’t those rats just eating each other?
Then what’s the problem?

It would take too many Lund boats and walleye lures to sink her.

Check an early episode of “The X-Files”. That ship was in it. Had the “oil” in the surviving crew member.

Congressional dems took a cruise to Britian?
(And I bet they did this at taxpayer expense.)

Some creative writer could do a wonderful story on this from the rats perspective. Heck it might even make a wonderful network sitcom. “Just the 16,000 of Us”

A few well placed 3 inch HE rounds would be much cheaper, and just as effective.
