I originally found this story at the beginning of the month, and after all this time, the bulk of the Argentinian crew finally fly home. BBC News has the update:
Almost 300 sailors left on an Air France plane chartered by the Argentine government.
A skeleton crew is staying on board the three-masted Libertad to maintain it.
The tall ship was prevented from leaving Ghana after a local court ruled in favour of a US fund.
The fund, NML Capital, argued it was owed $370m (£231m) by Argentina’s government as a result of its debt default a decade ago.

An earlier plan for the sailors to fly back on an Argentine plane was scrapped because of fears that the aircraft might itself be impounded as part of the debt dispute.
On Tuesday, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner condemned the Libertad’s seizure and made it clear there would be no negotiations with creditors.
