What I want to know is when they previously filled the interior spaces with foam, it was obviously done so the vessel wouldn’t sink, right? Now, it’s tied up obviously semi-permanently, but’s did they do anything to assuage the original concern that it would sink, or are they going to come back to their office one day and find it with the tide lapping up over the desks?

Here's a comment that says the plan was to tow the ship offshore and leave it unmanned as a static lighthouse. So the foam was a preventative measure. My biggest concern was that it was such a small office to share with such a miserable bastard and I wonder how long you'd last before getting the urgent need to go swimming or set about him with a boathook.

Light ships had to stay afloat in horrendous conditions, so filling empty/unnecessary holds with foam was probably a good idea.

I mean if you don’t need the cargo capacity foam is basically turning your entire ship into a life jacket.

This reminds me of MV Joyita.quote:MV Joyita was a merchant vessel from which 25 passengers and crew mysteriously disappeared in the South Pacific in 1955. It was found adrift with no one aboard. The ship was in very poor condition, with corroded pipes and a radio which, while functional, had a range of only about 2 miles (3.2 km), because of faulty wiring. However, the extreme buoyancy of the ship made sinking nearly impossible. Investigators were puzzled as to why the crew had not remained on board and waited for help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Joyita It had cork‐lined holds for insulation of refrigerated goods. It no longer hauled such goods, but the cork made it unsinkable, and the captain, at least, recognised this fact.

Otherwise hit F12, go to netwwork, then media, then refresh the page, go directly to the MP4 link, and download it as an MP4, then upload to imgur.
