Yeah, it's a given.Quote:

I think she'll make a good artificial reef.
Perhaps they can drag her to one of the new marine parks zones up at Port Stephens.
Go u rust fairies :D
Why not, she's already made a new beach!Quote:

Hey, maybe we could "blow it up" like those yanks did to that whale back in the 70s or 80s, yep, that would be a good idea !!! :U :U :U
The Pasha is still Balked current score is reef 3 high tides tugs zero
Not everyone is an expert on Rat's Rings like you Cliffy.Quote:

These are the piccies before it ran aground. Imagine being on board! Isn't no.4 a great photo.

Those pics are old, they did the rounds of the e-mail last year some time.
They are also of the Selkirk Settler.
Here are some pics of it from a good angle.
(That wing tip is an F18)
Onya Cliff! :2tsup: They turned her seaward tonight and tomorrow may be able to pull her off. Those bulkers are quite expensive, so I hope they get her afloat. If not, more $$$ to S. Korea or Denmark. :)
Yeap, they turned it around but now it is leaking. :cool:
Hopefully they'd remove the 800 tonnes of oil on board firstQuote:

Cliff, Photo number one shows some of the other ships anchored off shore.
There has been up to 70 or 60 ships at a time waiting to come in and load coal.
The ships are anchored for many miles (kilometres) along the coast.
nice pics Cliff
Slow progress is being made, so the morning news said.
hopefully it will be all over soon
That is, if the cable does't break....again
Looks like a beached whale with the pod offshore waiting for her to be sent back out.
Hope it doesn't make a mess - the locals love their beach
Same thing happens here at the Hay point and Dalrymple bay loading facilitiesQuote:

yeah who knows I thouht it would be a great idea to leave it.it has bought more people back to the city than ever..... turn it slightly for the southerly swell to come in and there will be some nice breaks coming off her for some fun waves fore the boardriders great place for a restaurant/niteclub and later down the track a good fishing spot
As Gretel would say.......
.......its time to go...........Pasha Bulker...........
She's Free..........:D
Not necessarily Cliff. She would have pumped ballast for the turn and that oil may be from the pumping.Quote:

I only heard the early news today, haven't seen or heard anything other than the weather since, looks like I should go & turn on the late news.
Looks like she either got free or sank in ten feet of water :rolleyes:
Great stuff. The last thing we needed was another ship rusting on the beach.
Edit: Link here - she is free.
Some sources suggest that the oil spilt was simply lubricant (hydraulic fluid ?) from the ships damaged prop ?Quote:

"Newcastle Ports Corporation officials hugged and kissed as the ship started moving."
glad I missed that bit

Ha I was right. 66% of you guys were wrong. SUCKERS. :D
G'day,
Bugger.
I was hoping for something explosive :blowup: , something like a catastrophe to happen, something out of Hollywood sort of thing, not-a-happy-slap-each-other-on-the-back-good-job-mate-well-done.:no:
Where's the cat? I need something to kick. :D
sorry, couldn't resist it.:BQuote:
