CBC news is reporting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A derelict Russian cruise ship that left St. John’s this week for the scrapyard is drifting in open seas.<\/p>\n

The Lyubov Orlova finally left St. John’s Harbour on Wednesday afternoon after being tied up for nearly two-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n

It was being towed to the Dominican Republic to be scrapped when the Coast Guard was notified on Thursday that the tow line had snapped.<\/p>\n

It happened about 12 kilometres east of Cape Race.<\/p>\n

No one was on board the Orlova at the time.<\/p>\n

There were high winds in the area Thursday evening, with five- to six-metre waves, causing more issues for the ship \u2013 though a spokesperson for the Coast Guard said those winds should diminish overnight.<\/p>\n

The crew of the tug boat Charlene Hunt was trying to reconnect the line. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard vessel Cape Roger is en route to monitor the situation.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard is advising mariners to be cautious if travelling through the area.<\/p>\n
