Being a 25 year old Single Hulled Tanker takes its toll as time passes. The Coast Guard considers her to be the worst case scenario for an oil spill in the waters of the United States. It is likely as the final resting place of all steel behmouths, she will also be beached to her final grave along the shores of china or West India. Some speculation has it that she may be converted into a floating storage Tanker. Operating costs and the constrictions on depths are  notorious factors as with any large tanker. The Oil market fluctuations make quite a tremor to her charter. I do hope she stays afloat and be reconstructed to a double hull. All though that may not be financially viable; it is a legend that i propose to salvage not just another ship. She has a life to tell and a history marked quite largely over this earth. Ranging from an unbeatable record of being the largest man made moving object to the Guiness Record holder of the largest ship in the world. There will never be another such like her. 

There's always hope! A passion most would consider insane. I take pride in.
