Yes, for sure.
That was a process led by the Canadian Coast Guard. Thank goodness the funding for that wasn't from the taxpayer. It was from the ship-source pollution fund. My understanding is that this fund is paid for by industry, so the Coast Guard will be going after the owners of the vessels to try to recoup that. If not, at least it's not coming from a pot of taxpayer money.
They were able to pull up two of the ships onto shore to be dismantled. The third had to be very carefully dismantled in the water because it was so fragile. Again, it was filled with lubricants and had fuel in it. It's a tidal river, so if there were any mistakes, parts of that ship and its contents would be going all the way out, past very pristine islands, into the Atlantic.
It was all handled very well, though. Again, it was overseen by the Coast Guard, but almost 30 years later.
