Our focus was on getting somebody back in charge of the vessel and getting it out of there with management control or temporary title—doing anything to get what was left of it out of there. The ship-source oil pollution fund blocked that at every hearing we went forward with. Instead, they pursued the issue of trying to establish ownership. This was a bit tricky, because you had American firm after American firm...and it turned out one of them was from Nevada at the end of the day and had dissolved. It was like there was nobody for the ship-source fund to target except the poor volunteer community port in Bridgewater.
