That Ship off Brighton

[wehatepalace]

My thoughts exactly! My g/f told the lifeguard on the beach who told her she'd been reading too much Stephen King.

Bet the lazy git just didn't want to recover the stinking decomposing rotten corpse, so he'll let it wash up round on Shoreham beach instead

What a great site that is. I can now 'virtually' gaze out to sea all day.

Clearly though, all on board the Kiowa Spirit are dead.

[Bernie The Bolt]

I'm not even sure I've ever swum before!

Website says last known port was Gibraltar and its meant to be heading to Malta - must of turned right when leaving Gib rather than left!!

It is isnt it, I only stumbled across it at the weekend, if I had found it a few weeks earlier I could have found that missing ship for them

Maybe it's the one already run by pirates. Did they ever locate that missing ship??

 

[ali jenkins]

I got my 20m badge at King Alfred. But I touched the bottom twice and didn't tell anyone

Thats TERRIBLE!

Not only did you touch the bottom twice you also stopped 5m from the end!

The captain of the customs frigate took the term,we intend to board you a little to seriously

The Russians did and according to a spokesman for Mr Putin the Pirates are now "Helping us with our enquiries" .

"Simples"

Wow, I will add this to Wikipedia, IMDB and NSC as sites at which it is possible to waste infinite amounts of time for no good reason.

On the google earth bit click on that ship and its track! It just looks like it has gone around in circles for a few days!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

How long has it been there and anyone know why its hanging around

 

[Stoichkov]

How long has it been there

About a week

anyone know why its hanging around

Because the crew are all dead

Some NSC'er must have a boat or, failing that, a sturdy lilo. I'm revising yesterdays distance estimate. Must be about 7-8k off shore

New home for the SBS ready for when the Government comes to town next month.

 

[house your seagull]

well i for one won't just sit back and see a repeat of the 1514 invasion on brighton by those pesky frenchers.

how can we mobilise a small marine force to stop these marauders right now?

 

[Marc]

its MOVING, just checked GE and its heading for France at a rate of 13.6knots

 

[ali jenkins]

Its moving out to sea now, I guess the thaught of some members of NSC coming over to say 'hi' was too much!!
