Talk:High Aim 6

Rewrite?

Is there a rewrite pending, here? As it is, the article's more or less a series of cut-and-pastes from the news story and press release in the links section. If the original contributor(s) intend to leave it as is, I could take a crack at it. —Eric S. Smith 15:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

edit

Go ahead and clean it up. I found so little info on the ship I was compelled to make the wiki entry. (my first)

I searched for hours, and without copying the AP text, I have nothing really to go on.

I cleaned it up a tad and fixed a few relevant missing links. Also, Mysteriously, no crew were on board the vessel, Mr Witheridge said., who is Mr. Witheridge?

It may also be worthy to note that AFMA is an acronym for Australian Fisheries Management Authority. Not sure how to properly do that as it doesn't already have a Wiki entry. Kurt 04:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Toothbrushes?

Why does the article particularly mention toothbrushes not being missing? Are they usually the first personal items to go during the mysterious abondonment of a nautical vessel?

The toothbrushes are mentioned in the Sydney Morning Herald article “Authorities baffled over abandoned fishing vessel,” upon which this article is based. Removing the reference can only help make our article look like less of a straight lift… —Eric S. Smith 01:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Fate of the ship?

Our article, based on a press release from AFMA about plans to shink the ship as a reef habitat, says that the ship was scuttled off of the coast of Broome. It seems that this may not in fact have happened. These articles, in particular the ABC one with its photographic evidence, look pretty conclusive: the ship was broken up and landfilled.

2. "Ghost Ship to meet its maker"

The "High Aim 6" was not sunk offshore as expected by local sportfishermen. She was dragged ashore and ripped apart by heavy equipment, transfered to dump trucks and hauled to the local landfil for a final restin place. Kenny Sullivan 209.209.140.19 01:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Updated Article

I updated the article with some info on the ship's origins and will continue to add more detail as I find it. I'm not very capable when it comes yo uploading photos, but here's a link where there's a GREAT photo if a more capable editor wants to tackle it:

Mystery shrouds ghost ship found off Queensland coast

I also added the WikiProject Paranormal banner becuase our project covers Ghost Ships.Lisapollison 16:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

OOPS - my bad - the photo is not of the High Aim 6 but of another ghost ship I was working on, the Jian Seng - sorry about that.Lisapollison 16:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Rudder Detail

To the best of my knowledge, a locked rudder has no effect on a drifting vessel. There may be some heretofore unknown application of physics involved —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.56.124 (talk) 01:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Category

Does this really belong in the category of ghost ships? Crash Underride 19:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Found adrift with the entire crew mysteriously missing (and repeatedly referred to as a "ghost ship" in media reports - example). Why not? 58.8.15.76 (talk) 19:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

And then one of the crew was found, and alleges mutiny occured. Quite believable and hardly paranormal.124.170.142.104 (talk) 16:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
