The Pasha Bulker left town a few weeks ago. It became a major tourist attraction while it was ground at Nobby's Beach, and Newcastle embraced it as the icon of the Flood of '07. However, the Newcastle Herald tried to whip up a public outcry over the final resting place of the ship's 19-ton rudder, which broke off during efforts to dislodge the ship from the sand. The Herald wanted it to be donated to the city for placement somewhere on the waterfront. The public didn't bite, however, and the boat's Japanese owners insisted on its destruction at a local scrapyard.
