Willie-O,

When they tried to burn all the oil out...it basically cut the ship in half...the bow section was worked on...so it could float again...and so they eventually towed it off the shore...(before they did...the tide would get so low...that you could walk up to the bow and touch it)...and then there was another storm as they were towing the bow section out to sea to sink it..and it broke the lines...and so the bow section ended in the town of waldport....before they towed it off once more...and sank the bloody thing...
