Map[edit]

Might be an idea to include the origin and destination ports on the map, if possible. Skinsmoke (talk) 07:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Kiwipat (talk) 08:30, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Route[edit]

My understanding (cannot find source at the moment) was that the ferry sailed on a Rabaul—Kimbe—Lae route, serving both East New Britain and West New Britain, not merely between Kimbe and Lae. Can anyone provide further information? Skinsmoke (talk) 07:24, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Final Report is available[edit]

The "Investigation" section needs to be updated. The Final Report has been released. See Judge Andrew's "Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the sinking of Rabaul Queen" dated 28 June 2012, at http://www.coi.gov.pg/documents/COI%20MV%20RABAUL%20QUEEN/Rabaul%20Queen%20COI%20final%20report%20June%202012.pdf.

Done. Pulled it out to its own section. Also added a section on the criminal trials. — Molly-in-md (talk) 02:52, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rest of the article[edit]

The article's intro briefly states that she was built almost 30 years before her sinking, but the article body begins with the sinking. Surely more is known about the rest of her service life than the one sentence devoted to it. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 20:25, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
