Update to the story:

Apparently the USCG is going to sink the ship.

I'm just wondering why. I know the owner doesn't want it back but I don't understand why someone isn't claiming it as salvage. The hull alone has to be worth the cost of towing it to port. The electronics and other fittings ought to be worth something too.
