This ship has been aground on the coast of Nova Scotia since September
2011. They were working on scrapping her in place last year, but I
don't recall hearing that they had finished the job.

Because of finding considerably more toxic materials aboard the ship
than the RFP described the last firm contracted backed out of the
project. A second company has taken over but costs are very high. The
federal government is unwilling to help the province with the clean-up.
