Pongsu, the intruder

Clifton Gardens, Sydney Harbour view map

This ship looks out of place in the normally non-commercial bit of Sydney Harbour. It is the Pongsu, the
North Korean ship chased and seized by Australian authorities in 2003 after apparently off-loading heroin to
a waiting dinghy off the Victorian coast. The Pongsu was in Sydney Harbour (but not right here) from then
until shortly after this picture was taken. It was then towed out to sea and sunk, for target practice!
