I have followed this ship for a long time, in that it was the last passenger ship that was designed and built here, of that type. There are a lot of you tube vids of the ship as she sits. The latest was a tour through parts of it, and if they could make this work, it would be something to see it sailing again, and a good example of how you can take something someone thinks worthless and make it of value. I am betting they will gut the engine room and go to Diesel power.
