About this listen

 The MS World Discoverer, once a German-built expedition cruise ship, ran aground on an uncharted reef in the Solomon Islands in 2000. After a safe evacuation, salvage attempts failed, and the ship was stripped by locals. Now partially submerged and ownerless, it remains a haunting, abandoned relic, likely to rest on the shore for decades as a unique and eerie landmark in the Pacific.
