Hello Peter,

I hope you are keeping well,

Well i have not heard but there must have been someone on board at the time of her being towed but she broke her towline twice in rough seas and the second time the line broke she was left on her own but they must have taken a crew member off at sometime, rather him than me as i did read she was Rat infested!

It is just something i have been following [or trying to] since the New Year and it's just Bugged me eversince ;)

Roger.

So it looks like if you want to dump anything in sea like an old Car/Plane/Caravan/Wife/Girl friend nobody will be after you :thumbsup:
As long as it's in international waters.. yes mate. This seems very much to be the case :dunno: Of course.. the downside is that should your old car/plane/caravan/wife/girlfriend stray back into national waters.. the law will be after you again 8)

There has to be more to this story than we're being told. It's the only logical explanation *-)

Or in UK waters, you could use Beauforts Dyke. You wouldn't believe what was dumped there, at least up until the early 90's.

I read a few on - line reports.
Isn't it cruel that a ship built in 1976 to withstand cruising in ice filled waters is already an unwanted item?
As if the sea needs another few thousand tons of rubbish. :'(
ABANDON SHIP! :wasntme:
Cheers, Mike.
