an unfortunate blemish on our otherwise (relatively, given PA's history) pristine and enviable ecosystem

It doesn't look like it here but the ship is moored just off the end of the Wild West pier. Too bad there's no wind. It would be fun to sail around.

Damn things are so big it probably IS both just off the end of WWW and off the end of the Quay!

I don't think you'd be sailing AROUND but perhaps swim around it most of the way....these damn things even affect winds at Kook when they are in the Strait
