Is it in any way possible this is the mysterious ghost ship alluded to in the beginning of 30 Days of Night? 174.91.217.122 (talk) 02:38, 1 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'd like a map of the sightings with indication of the usual extent of the banquise in the area.

>March of 1962, she was seen sailing along (added 20:53, 24 November 2007? 206.174.1.236 ) "Sailing" seems too active a verb here. Any comment from the person who added it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polebridge (talkcontribs)

I bet they were not Inuit, but were Yupik, not Inuit. Inuit is not a politically correct synonym for Eskimo. It is a distinct language group, and the terms is usually used to refer to Canadian Eskimos. Canadians turned "Eskimo" into a pejorative, but it really has not become so in Alaska. Yupik, Inupiat are the common ways I have usually heard Alaskans refer to the various language groups. In fifty years in Alaska, I don't think I have ever heard an Alaskan Eskimo refer to himself as an Inuit, though I suppose you might dig up somebody who had been indoctrinated by foreign college professors or something.Hypercallipygian (talk) 18:29, 29 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
