What better way to celebrate a gloomy Christmas than to dim the lights with a stiff sherry and discuss MV Lyubov Orlova, which was a Soviet cruise liner let loose to drift in the Atlantic Ocean in 2013. She was impounded in Canada after some shady shit by her operators but essentially towed into international waters to be set free after no one wanted the bird anymore. She was believed to be on course for the UK containing cannibal rats but might now be alone at the bottom of the sea.
