Didn’t something like this happen about 20yrs ago and the damn thing sunk near Donaldsonville? I think I recall the city fighting with the company on whose responsibility it was to clear the wreckage. Only in Louisiana.

The Pelican. It was in New Orleans for years and then the city of Donaldsonville bought it, it was moved up there, then it was struck by a barge, sank but still a navigational hazard and the city couldn’t afford to salvage it.
