Poor shirp-boat chan... lost due to the earthquake. Abandoned by her onii-sama who says he doesn't want her. She drifted all the way across the ocean to try and find a new home, but even Alaska says she's too filthy and doesn't want her either. All Shrimpboat-chan wants is someone to care for her again after the tragedy.

That actually looks to be a pretty nice boat. Looks to be in better condition than the Millennium Falcon, and people have been eating that up for 35 years without complaining.
I'd take her.

>they don’t want it,” Begich said Friday. “Neither do we.”
Why wouldn't you want your 150 foot long boat back?

Sure, it might be banged up a bit, but I'm sure it's still worth something. How much could you get if you scrapped that son of a bitch, anyways?

>> No.8797791

All of you faggots saying you'd take her should go do it

Maritime Salvage law would be on your side since the ship would be considered abandoned. All you need to do is rent a boat out to it and get on it, and it'd be yours.

Or are you faggots all talk?

If I was in Alaska, I'd take it. An uncle of mine even owns a tug, so it wouldn't be hard to fetch, too bad it's in the great lakes.

Anyone on the westcoast want to start up /jp/ shrimpboat?

You could make a killing on that scrap if you got it to shore.

theres probably a really good logistical reason why nobody has recovered it yet.

If she has lasted that long without sinking i would take her to the nearest dock and fix her up!
She could be the /jp/ mansion yacht.

>>8797791

Sadly, yes.
I could list full 10.000 word essay on the particular circumstances why as much as I'd love a ship on the high seas there's still no chance I'll get over to Alaska anytime soon, but it's so much faster and less embarassing just admitting I'm more talk than walk on this one.

They should just tow the thing rather than just monitoring it. I mean, right now it's an out of control object that will eventually slam into something.

If no one takes her soon it's only a matter of time before she loses all hope and does something drastic, like barging into someone's home.

Indeed. Such as the homes of some random endangered marine birds.
Then suddenly everyone will be very interested.

More likely she'll float along the coast and back out to sea following the alaskan current before either doing another loop, or heading down to mexico.

If she ends up going far enough south, a storm will probably eventually sink her, and she'll slowly become a reef. Unwillingly penetrated by countless sea creatures for years.

Towing a several-hundred-ton boat back to shore would probably cost more in fuel than what you could get for scrap metal from it.

>> No.8798130

I'd take that boat in a second.
Imagine stepping on to that old thing and finding some crew member's workplace, his stuff still in his locker and everything. So much fun`

If it's a hazard, the government should pay for or subsidize it.
