Has the 'ship that rocked' been scuttled?

News on that Pacific ocean pop pirate ship that was planning to bombard Fiji with news and pop music, reminiscent to the golden oldies days of off-shore England broadcast tubs has 'dried up'.

The President of the Fiji Democracy and Freedom Movement, based in Sydney, Australia, says the idea was to put an antenna on a ship anchored in international waters, outside Fiji's legal jurisdiction.

It had been suggested in some quarters they had been planning to position a Dutch-registered merchant vessel in the international waters off the coast of Fiji to defy censors in the military dictatorship and fire up on both AM and FM.
