Mumbai's no. 1 thing to do this week: Gawk at a rusty ship

Does my city perhaps lack something by way of entertainment? A grounded tanker became the city-wide, high talking point of this weekend.

Titanic merchant ship MV Wisdom ran ashore on June 12 after the ropes broke while being towed from Colombo to a ship breaking yard in Gujarat, where it was to be dismantled into scrap.

The MV Wisdom is now spending its last days as a pop-up tourist attraction instead and causing some bad traffic too.
