Abandoned Cruise Ship

No reports of any oil or other pollutant spills as a result of the accident were filed. Similarly, no reports on how much pollutant may remain in her hull have ever been available either.

One of a kind
Besides her double hull construction, The World Discoverer was, for many reasons, a very special ship as she was one of the very few vessels that had been constructed for exclusive cruising expeditions near or around icebergs. This ocean liner also had an over 8,000-mile cruising range allowing her to be the first ship to ever transit the Northwest Passage.

The decaying corpse of the World Discoverer has remained in Roderick Bay ever since. Still visible on Google Maps, the ship looks like a defeated giant surrounded by jungle, waiting for a rescue that will never come. Although it is uncertain when the ship is going to eventually sink, it is clear that by the stress the middle bow section is under, the ship will more likely break in half before it goes down.

The World Discoverer has become a tourist attraction with locals of the island reportedly giving unauthorized tours through the interior of the ship and for other ships cruising nearby that don't want to miss the opportunity to see the old discovery ship before it fully crumbles into the ocean.
