Help and Advice / Help needed to identify recovered wreck remains

« on: August 23, 2010, 08:09:22 AM »

Hi,

Can anyone identify, or confirm, what the objects in this photo are:



There's an anchor coming in from centre-left below which is an object with a rectangular face-plate.

A crew member on the barge carrying the remains said it was an "engine rocker". I've done some googling but probably didn't use the right keywords because I'm still none the wiser.

The crew member said the section above the anchor shank is the curved arch of the wreck's stern, with the vertical section on the right being the bottom of the keel above which (ie to the left) the rudder was once fixed.

The chap also said that other members of the crew thought the squat L-shaped item at top left may be the top of the rudder post (ie the rudder once lay between it and the bottom of the keel to the right).

Can anyone help, please?   :-)

Help and Advice / Can't load Marinetraffic's "Itineraries History" pages

« on: July 27, 2010, 04:13:09 PM »

Hi,

For the last couple of week or so I haven't been able to load the "Itineraries History" page for any ship at marinetraffic.com.

For example, this is the link to a Dover tug (DHB Dauntless):

http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?MMSI=232004784

The "Itineraries History" link is on the left under "Last Position Received".

Can anyone get this link to work? All I get is a default error page saying, "The requested service is unavailable."

At least that'll tell me whether its my computer or not!
