Cliffs:
- "The Love Boat" (known as "The Pacific Princess" -- an actual cruise ship) aired from 1977 to 1987
- The 36-year-old boat was still being used for Mediterranean cruises, but was on its final voyage to Turkey
- The ship was just bought for $3.3 million by a salvage company, which is pretty LOL for such a big ship to be worth that little. Must have been in pretty bad shape.
- While pulling into its final port of call, it got damaged and water seeped in. When they tried to remove the water, engine exhaust somehow got into the ship, and killed two people, and sickened 6 others. It's not clear if those two were employees or passengers.
- The ship is currently sitting on its side.
