The ship probably has value, the potential lawsuits regarding how it came and went probably eclipse that. Once you touch it whoever feels wronged is gonna try and lay claim to any money you made scrapping it and whether or not you win you get tied up in court doesn't really matter, it's still the last thing you want to do in a low margin industry. This is one ship, you're not gonna make a ton of money off it, not worth screwing with for most entities capable of scrapping it. Whatever town this washed up on is gonna have to pay to get rid of it. I'm sure some teenagers will find the time to steal some souvenirs before that happens though.
Salvage law isn't gonna stop some locals who don't like the particulars of how you scrapped it from bogging you down in a court room for a year. There's more parties involved here than just the owners (whoever they may be).
