The ship was called SS American Star and was more than 50 years old when it ran aground.

That’s in the Canary Islands, for those of you like me who don’t know where Fuerteventura is.

TIL the Canary Islands have a population of 2.2 million (!)

Hi, I'm one of those couple million. Tenerife is my island.

I bet a supervillain has a secret base built in underneath it

From Greece to Thailand and it ended up in Fuerteventura? Was the Suez Canal not available?

For real. I didn't know that tugboats were capable of making trips like that. Or, maybe they aren't, and this is why...

Edit: I just read the wiki. Apparently there is an age limit on ships that pass through the Suez Canal. I suppose that makes sense. Feels like risky business towing an old ass ship half way around the world just to turn it into a hotel.
