Hey all,

I live in Newcastle, Australia and a coal ship went on the beach called Nobby's Beach. They landed on the beach as there was a terrible storm and the engine wouldnt start and then they hit the beach! So they are going to get a couple of tugs in a week or so to try and pull it back in the water the water. $:-\$

Cheers, Matt

Although it was a very interesting day with 4 vessels struggling to get out to sea, this could have been posted in the general section as it has little to do with the 2008 release.

Thanks

Haha, dam, look at the big wave!

Master Captain · « **Reply #9 on:** June 25, 2007, 00:52:15 »

yea thats a good one. KM

Captain Kool · « **Reply #10 on:** June 25, 2007, 06:27:28 »

Let me tell you, that the Average Wave Height was 17.9m, much, much, much........ larger then those waves! When the big waves crash up against the ship there's a huge BOOM from the empty hatches! Quite amazing!

A beutifull day at the beach, your lying in the sun, a bulk ship comes stranding on the beach.

Is she still stranded? http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21938472-2,00.html
Anyway, it is nicier than looking at jellyfishes on the strand.

I saw the Sealink Hengist on the beach at Folkestone in 1987.

That was a sight to see. It wasnt just the bow, it was beam to the beach- the jetty holed it about 15-20 yds rear quarter.

I can't see them anymore either.

I tried to pull them up by link and get an error. Perhaps this will work:

Master Captain · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2007, 02:35:48 »

Ship Sim · « **Reply #19 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:02:16 »

Yes would be. It WOuld be something to have seen the ship run aground.

Cool, Looks like they did a good job getting the ship there on the beach.

Captain Kool · « **Reply #22 on:** July 02, 2007, 13:54:49 »

Ok, I just watched the Pasha Bulker go out to sea, a very successful salvage!

Ship Sim · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2007, 05:12:29 »

Thats cool.

It survived.
