4'-7" guns?[edit]

4'-7" guns? I presume it meant 4x7". And just how many Captains has she? I presume the civilian is her Master... Clairfy? Trekphiler 20:59 & Trekphiler 21:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to 4.7", a standard RN gun of the day. Kablammo 20:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wreck site coordinates?[edit]

Does anyone know the coordinates of where the ship ran aground? --RThompson82 (talk) 23:08, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one wreck marked on the chart at 60°07.00'N 1°57.70'W. Admiralty chart 3283, Shetland Islands South Sheet. Can anyone confirm if this is her? Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:49, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've found her in the official database and am updating the article. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 13:09, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Salvage[edit]

In 1973 another attempt was made to salvage parts of the wreck and the propellers for scrap Must refer to Alex Crawford and Simon Martin scuba diving the wreck and recovering more than 200 tons of non-ferrous scrap with a six figure value

See Simon Martin's book "The other Titanic" ISBN 0-7153-7755-8 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yelcho (talk • contribs) 09:57, July 18, 2020 (UTC)

Speed[edit]

I can see the work that has been going into providing conversions for her speed, but is there any sense in giving MPH? Ship speeds are measured in knots, and for metricated countries I suppose they will want km/h, but who ever uses MPH for a ship speed? Martin of Sheffield (talk) 23:31, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
