Yeeeey! From what I read the cost and risk, in 1976, to remove the ship was greater than the insurance would pay. Plus there was some fire shortly after it ran aground. So they decided to scrap the important parts and leave it there. So it's became a touristic spot.
Our coast has more than 300 reported shipwrecks \o\
Well, no other big ship ran aground along the coast since then. I've heard of a ship running aground on the other side of the channel, but they pulled it out fine. We do see wooden fishing boats stranded sometimes though.
