seems to me there was an article about such a ship over in the North Sea area (?) a few years ago, the "news" being that it was rat infested with inbred rats, from decades of isolation, and that some maritime authorities were trying to decide what to do about it since it was drifting toward land somewhere. Maybe this is another "ghost ship" ?

the MV Lyubov Orlova.

I was trying to recall the story, I thought the ship had gone adrift for much longer than that. Some of the details sounded different, and they are as one was a freighter and the other a cruise ship. I grew up in the NE maritime region and ship stories like this kind of creep me out a little having grown up with creepy ghost ship stories.
