but can’t find a decent home for this ship,

Not much demand for retired ocean liner tourism. An artificial reef that people will be able to enjoy for generations to come is a much better resting place than sending her to the breakers.

The management of the "conservancy" all got nice salaries for doing nothing but paying the rent for the wharf, until they failed to do that. There were better options than this to keep the ship intact.
