that's true...

Can we go back to my question?

Quaysider · « **Reply #3276 on:** September 16, 2009, 22:12:30 »

There are clues in the pic VS - no lifeboats, still very scarred, the port background - all of which point to a part of her life that was distinctive...

When i first saw that picture i thought it was taken a few years ago... I thought it was repaired firedamage.
but that night.... Unbelievable the ship didn't had any smockdetectors $:-\$
The firealarm was to soft of sound and the paint wasn't fireproof so cyianide toxains where released

It is very tiresome when the same question is shown repeatedly - if no one has answered in the allotted time it may be because we simply do not know - it would be much better to provide the answer than just repeat the question again and again...

saltydog · « **Reply #3287 on:** September 17, 2009, 18:55:15 »

I agree to some extent Quaysider..However, because a question is not answered doesn't mean it is too hard..
Perhaps not enough people are online, aren't interested, or simply can't be bothered to look for the answer..
WM has now given a fool-proof clue..If nobody gets it now, it's time for a new one surely..
