Spooky images as unclaimed Soviet ghost ship drifts unmanned into Irish waters | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 31194169 Canada 02/25/2013 12:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Russian cruise ship, MV Lyubov Orlova, was found drifting 1,300 nautical miles off the coast of Ireland, with no crew or warning lights, a month after it broke its cable and set adrift into international waters. Once used for polar cruises and expeditions by the Soviet Union the ship was being towed from Canada to a scrapyard in the Caribbean when the two cables snapped and it floated away. The Canadian authorities said the ship was not pursued as there were no people on board and there was concern for the safety of the Canadian sailors who might have attempted to salvage the ship due to the weather and dangerous sea conditions.
