Apparently there may be a new "ghost ship" sailing the Atlantic. This one is supposedly overrun with starving, cannibal rats.
The Lyubov Orlova is a Russian cruise ship with a less-than-stellar record that appears to be (or at least was) drifting in the North Atlantic after losing its towline while being towed to a scrapyard. See an ABC News article.
The DrsC saw the Lyubov Orlova at the dock in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada a year or two ago. She'd been tied there for many months, rusting quietly, caught up in a bankruptcy mess we were told.
They finally sold the Lyubov Orlova for scrap, but she shook her leash and went a-roving. The sea does strange things. The story in The Scotsman has more detail.
