Abandoned cruise ship filled with cannibal rats headed for British shore

This is like an aquatic version of Event Horizon. Maybe they'll find this guy on board:

So basically it's a floating Walmart.

 

Make the biebs live on it for two months.

 

So send it to NY, open the sewers and dump them in. It
would solve their rat problems.

 

The wind suddenly shifted to the northeast, and the remnant of the sea fog melted in the blast. And then, mirabile dictu, between the piers, leaping from wave to wave as it rushed at headlong speed, swept the strange schooner before the blast, with all sail set, and gained the safety of the harbour. The searchlight followed her, and a shudder ran through all who saw her, for lashed to the helm was a corpse, with drooping head, which swung horribly to and fro at each motion of the ship. No other form could be seen on the deck at all.

A great awe came on all as they realised that the ship, as if by a miracle, had found the harbour, unsteered save by the hand of a dead man! However, all took place more quickly than it takes to write these words. The schooner paused not, but rushing across the harbour, pitched herself on that accumulation of sand and gravel washed by many tides and many storms into the southeast corner of the pier jutting under the East Cliff, known locally as Tate Hill Pier.

There was of course a considerable concussion as the vessel drove up on the sand heap. Every spar, rope, and stay was strained,and some of the `top-hammer' came crashing down. But, strangest of all,the very instant the shore was touched, an immense dog sprang up on deck from below,as if shot up by the concussion, and running forward, jumped from the bow on the sand.

 

Sounds too much like a Sci-Fi Channel movie.

I'm sure the Brits have some type of new anti ship weapon that they'd like to test.

 

funniest post i've seen in a minute

 

Sounds like the next round of Ebola waiting to happen. Sink that thing and create a reef.

 

blame canada

 

My parents actually took a cruise to Antarctica on that ship when it was still in top shape, they said that it was an amazing experience. The pictures that they have from that trip just blow my mind...
