 |  | Abandoned Ghost Ship with Cannibalistic Rats to Crash onto U.K. Coast

"A ghost ship filled with cannibal rats is floating somewhere off the coast of Scotland, ready to crash ashore and unleash its disease-ridden cargo of starving rodents. And it's all because Canadian authorities let the Soviet-era nightmare liner loose in the North Atlantic, satisfied that it was no longer a threat to Canada."
The Durango '95 purred away a real horrowshow - a nice, warm vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts. And soon it was trees and dark, my brothers, with real country dark. |

| | | | At this situation of survival of the fittest rat, only the the most vicious, aggressive opportunistic and intelligent rats would be left. Board that ship at your own risk.
This would make for a great horror film!

| | | | It's hilarious that our immediate response to the imminent grounding of a ghost ship and unleashing of disease-ridden, hyper-vicious rats is, "let's explore it!"
(Yes, I'd totally explore it.)

| | | | I love the sensationalistic title to the article.
"well, we're assuming there are rats on board, and they'd probably have to eat each other to survive, so ZOMG CANNIBAL RATS"

| | | | re: rat landfall, the UK has a coast guard and a navy and geoint and ship detection sites so I bet they could locate/board/sink it if they really wanted to.
Edit: oops forgot to say how awesome this ship would be to splore.

According to some sources, the ship is infested with “cannibal rats.” But this is more theory than fact, as no one has been on the ship in a year. The cannibal rat theory comes from Pim De Rhoodes, a Belgian salvage hunter, who told tabloid The Sun, “There will be a lot of rats and they eat each other. If I get aboard I'll have to lace everywhere with poison.” De Rhoodes has no actual information about whether there are rats on the boat, or whether they're diseased, cannibalistic or perfectly civilized.
Reminds me an episode of South Park where the news reported cannibalism. The exchange went:
"You've actually seen people eating each other?"
"No, we haven't seen it, we're just reporting it."

| | | | I think it's a safe assumption that the rats resorted to cannibalism after all other food sources ran out. So yea, nothing really all that shocking about this.

| | | | If you just wait long enough, there will be only one cannibal rat left on board, and then if you wait just a bit longer, there will be none. The quality control of journalism and the news these days is pretty low. Internet "news" is even more questionable.
The ship and the rest of the story is pretty cool. Anyone got an ocean going powerboat they feel like lending a crack team of UER sailors?
I've been on an abandoned ship very similar in size and shape to this one although a bit older, in its final incarnation as the Faithful:
http://maritimemat...e-decked-part-one/
It got dumped various places in the Bay Area, and finally towed out to to the Sacramento river delta where it's still floating around. Not as cool as being dumped in international waters. The City of Oakland actually paid a salvage company $100,000 to remove the ship from the city waters.

It seems like you should be able to sell a ship for scrap and actually turn a profit...
