Though the Aussies ostentatiously drape a shroud over the keel when the boat is hauled out after each day's sail-psych is everything...
...about one ton an hour, posed a danger to the dozens of ships that round the cape every day. In a daring maneuver, a private helicopter, with air force planes monitoring the situation, lowered two divers onto the wreck to attach a towline to the tanker's bow. A powerful tugboat then began to tow the wreckage 100 miles out to sea, where it will be sunk in some 6,000 feet of water...
