There was a movie called Ghost Boat about a WWII British sub.

I liked it.

I was in Melbourne when this one washed ashore.

Nice boat. Looks undamaged, despite the beaching.

I think a derelict vessel becomes the property of whoever can bring it to port.

You float ‘er, you own ‘er.

Coast Guard rescued all 10 crew members on board after the vessel lost power while en route from Greece to Haiti in September 2018.

...

One year later, in September 2019, the U.K. Royal Navy’s Ice Patrol Ship HMS Protector spotted Alta adrift in the mid-Atlantic, but its attempts to make contact and offer assistance went unanswered.

Someone needs to update their operational database more often.

Wasn’t it worth a salvage effort, even for scrap?

You float ‘er, you own ‘er.

You own 'er, you pay the docking fees, registration fees, tax on the value of the craft, and whatever else the local gubmint thinks they can get away with.

Well, it was without a crew.

But you’re right. Any of those words would have been more descriptive and accurate.
