Interesting. Why are they bothering?
Because it's a hazard to the water way and marine life to leave it there. As it rusts and the fuel leaks out it's going to contaminate the bay. If people try to get on it (like kids and drunk college kids) then they are going to hurt themselves. The company would get a huge fine for leaving it there (can't litter in the ocean either).
They sold the wreck to a savage company. The salvage company is expecting to make a profit selling the scrap and stuff inside.
