opened publicly on June 28. During the cleanup, workers pumped of oil from the ship and discovered the carcasses of 200 more birds and two harbor seals inside the wreck.

The ship began to roll more severely to the starboard in early 2016, and the entire ship plus parts of the pier were closed to the public once again in the summer of 2016. On January 21, 2017, another winter storm tore the stern off the ship. On January 5, 2023, another winter storm destroyed portions of the pier leading to the ship, leading the state to begin removal of the pier on March 20, 2023, and completing it in May.
