Review:
The World Discoverer is both an eerie and remarkable sight to behold. Located in Roderick Bay, this half-sunken vessel has been partially submerged, lying tipped to one side since 2000. Once a world traveling cruise ship, it met its fateful demise with an unchartered reef, officially ending its career for good. While everyone aboard the vessel was safely removed, the ship had to be grounded to avoid completely sinking. Though several attempts have been made to salvage the ship, it still remains in the bay to this day and has become somewhat of a famous tourist attraction, drawing in visitors looking for a good photo op.
