Backwards boat

Monday, November 28, 2005

Still no sign of it, but it looks like it was in Taiwan at somepoint during week 44 (so about two weeks before it got to Hong Kong). My nautical experience is limited to a couple of cross-channel ferry trips, a few jet boat rides in New Zealand and a healthy dose of talking like a a pirate, but I'd assumed that the ship would be going west-east, probably because we flew that way, I suppose.

Given that Taiwan is further East than Hong Kong, I suppose it must have come the other way (via Panama?) and perhaps be heading via Indonesia (or be parked up off the coast somewhere, or being attacked by pirates, giant squid or monsters from 40,000 fathoms), rather than going backwards as I'd first thought.

The hunt continues and there are pieces of eight to the person who finds her. According to shipinform.org, this is what she looks like.
