Except for a years worth of corrosion on the hull and upper decks the ship doesn't look like there is much wrong with it. It must be battened down and water tight or i'd think a years worth of rain and waves would have sunk her by now.

How much would an equipped 50' fishing trawler be worth?

I believe this is the HMCS Rustybucket one of our latest destroyer frigates out on sea trials. It was purchased from the Royal Navy at a bargain price and no warranty.

We have all been well and truly cheated. This ship is not Japanese, but a top modern surveillance ship from North Korea. They sent it to the eastern Atlantic in order to spy on Americans.

Who would suspect an old rusty fishing trawler
