December 14: Tricolor collides with Kariba

December 16: The Nicola hits the submerged Tricolor

January 1: Cargo ship the Vicky runs onto the Tricolor

I wanted to post this a couple of days ago already, but couldn't find an English link...

Note: the Tricolor was carrying 3000 luxury cars, worth around 3 million British Pounds. The Tricolor itself was worth about 2.5 million British Pounds. It was on its way from Antwerp, Belgium, to Southhampton; the cars were meant for the American market.

And oh...

It's really a proof that a lot of boats have very bad sailors (cause they are not well paid, as usual) who monitors nor their road, nor radio messages, nor anything else.
It explains what happens currently with tankers, what happened before... and what will happen soon again if everything continue in this way.

I read this in the newspaper to some while ago... It trashed my (silly, childish) believe that sailors knew what they're doing always. I just grew up. I see those people can be (not all of them) as stupid as... erm... well as some people can be...

I find it funny that sneggz is doing this...

sneggz stop man you are kinda embarrasing yourself...

You know, there has been quite a bit of discussion about installing a "Breathalyser" on automobiles to discourage drunk driving....could it be that there is a market for a maritime version of the same device? For that matter, it might be beneficial to put one on the airliners too....

more on the accident:

Eight members from the crew of the oil tanker 'Vicky', including the navigator, where found floating adrift in a long boat early this morning.

After complaints of a severe itching and burning in the genital area they were airlifted to a nearby navel hospital where on closer examination a rash was discovered on the abdominal areas of all those rescued from the lifeboat.

The rash accompanied by a faint reddish brown discoloration and a marked loss of body hair in the affected area is still a mystery to Medical experts. The crew will be kept in quarantine until the origin of the infection is determined.

Although the Captain remained unavailable for comment his teenage daughter, who often accompanies her father on such journeys, told reporters she was saddened that her trip had to be cut short and expressed deep concern for the well being of the sickened crewman claiming her life would not be the same if anything bad happened to any one of them.

While in France an inventor/chemist has asked permission to attempt the use of his recently patented compound 'Wheyhey' to raise the ship from the ocean floor. Wheyhay, a mixture of vegetable compounds extracted from grasses produces a very light gas at an astounding rate when introduced to a fluid byproduct of the dairy industry. When asked if enough gas could be produced rapidly enough to raise the vessel the chemist exclaimed "Wheyhay and up she rises!"

As reported by Earl Eyigh in the Morning Gazette (2, 13, 21&37)

lol.. and a Wheyhay we go
