He announced plans to send the vessel to a Mobile, Alabama shipyard in Spring 2019 to prepare her for a voyage from Miami, replicating the circumnavigation of North America in 1957, including traverse of the North West Passage. This plan was cancelled as Bramble'''s new owner ran out of funds, and the ship was taken from him to be auctioned off in Mobile, Alabama. On December 4, 2019 the Bramble'' was sold at public auction by the United States Marshals Service for $80,000 to M.A.R.S., Modern American Recycling Services, Inc.
