Lee54 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 We cant always believe what an MHK says, can we. Similarly we can't always believe what you say either........so let it go. Maybe you could ask for yourself by contacting the families spokesman, Rev. Alex Currie, COE Isle of Whithorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jampton Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The divers I know would have liked the Harvester to have been sunk in 30m of water away from the shipping lanes of Douglas. Similar fishing vessels in 30m are Dawn Waters, Don Bosco, Fenella Ann (40m) which immediately spring to mind. To be able to see these wrecks mature and become home to so much life is an experience never to be missed. On reflection, with modern underwater photography I wondered why the salvage operation took place in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homarus Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Why has this thread moved on from a discussion about a suitable resting place for a dead ship ,to it being a possible tourist attraction ? Cut it up F.F.S.! Remove all trace of it from the face of the earth! As long as it survives in any form ,it will continue to be a painful reminder of the night seven people lost their lives !

Lets make them all into Tourist attractions . That to easy and cheap for the Manx Government, they only invest in white elephants. Lets ask Ramsey shipyard to cut the Ramsey pier up while where at it. Oh, Guess what the IOM Government have sponsored stands at a tourist exibition this week.

You complete insensitive PRICK!!!! What did you want me to say, Oh Good lets send the Boat to Ramsey and make nice little souvenirs out of it. Do you really think that the families want to see someone make a profit out of a boat that took their children away, I don't think so and not many from the fishing industry do either. The only ones to make anything out of the boat will be the Ramsey Ship yard, the sale of the scrap wont cover the costs of cutting it up. Shreaded steel scrap is only fetching $200 per ton now, so an 80 ton boat wont give much return, it will cost more to cut it up and ship away, whos paying for that little exercise. By sinking it the returns will be much greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jampton Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Dear Scrappey, I'm sure you would love to swim amongst the wrecks on the seabed around the IOM. There is so much history, sealife and the pleasure of diving to experience. Do a try- dive this winter. You might even have me training you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
