 SS "Excambion" was the site of a major scandal in 1957 in Marseille when the ship was found to be carrying 20 kg of heroin for the French Connection.Before the demolition process began in the 2000s to prepare the ship for sinking as an artificial reef, a large 11-panel mural by Saul Steinberg was discovered inside the ship.Created for the ship's conversion from attack transport "USS Queens" to cargo liner "Excambion", it was serendipitously discovered beneath wallpaper above the bar in the ship's aft lounge.
