The MS World Discoverer is a wrecked cruise ship beached in Roderick Bay on the Nggela Islands in the Solomon Islands.Built in Germany in 1974, it operated as an expedition cruise ship for passengers exploring polar and remote regions. It struck an uncharted reef in April 2000, was safely beached to prevent sinking, and remains abandoned there today.
