We were at the O'Brien the week before CCIP, and the guy there told us they moved her across the harbor to unload all of the lead ballast from her, to be replaced with stone. It helps them by removing a hazardous material they no longer had to be concerned with and mitigate, and the lead is worth a lot of cash now, too.
