The first order of business is determining whether it's worth repairing or it gets junked. Then there's the question of how best to go about it — and who pays.

Rod Sullivan, professor of maritime law at the Florida Coastal School of Law, tells Steve Inskeep the captain has no legal obligation to go down with the ship.
