The wreck of the missing "ghost ship" may have been invaded by hundreds of carnivorous rats, washed ashore more than 4,800 km away.
Scientists concluded that the 90-meter-long wreck washed up on the coast of California, USA, may be the Russian cruiser MV Lyubov Orlova that sank under the sea, Mirror yesterday reported.
The 4,000-ton MV Lyubov Orlova, which has carried 110 passengers on excursions for more than 20 years, departed for the scrap processing site in February 2013. But the ship disappeared off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, and many believe that hundreds of carnivorous rats attacked the ship.
"We think this ship has been invaded by swarms of carnivorous rats. Imagine a ship full of carnivorous rats appearing on the local beach where you live," an expert shared on What program. on Earth on the Science Channel.
However, further analysis showed that the wreck on the California coast was made of concrete while the Lyubov Orlova was made mostly of steel.
Another theory is that this is an oil tanker that was invaded by a mafia gang in the 1930s. They named the ship SS Monte Carlo and turned it into an illegal casino, brothel and bar.
