I have a horrible feeling she may be under tow to the breakers. Although I have no proof of this.
Enough torque to restart a dead planet! OOW with an unlimited CoC looking for work. :)

According to www.coltoncompany.com, she has recently been stripped of machinery and equipment for Sea Star Line's vessels of the same class, which are aparently in rough shape.. It seems that line is also planning on scrapping the EL MORRO in the spring, one of the Venture's sisters.

It's always sad to hear that another old girl like her is headed of for the torches.
