[edit] Alexander Selkirk: Cinque Ports Sunk?

"Selkirk was concerned about the condition of the Cinque Ports, on which he was sailing, and remained on the island – the ship later sunk with most of its crew being lost."

I have read that the ship did not sink, can anyone check this? We have to check if it did sink shortly after, I don't think so... She was making water, in bad shape, but ironically did not sink shortly as Selkirk was predicting... Rodrigo Boos (talk) 17:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Titanic?

There were really no castaways in Titanic. The boat sank, the people drifted about, but no castaways.

[edit] Fake Story Doesn't Belong Here

If the story of Leendert Hasenbosch is fake, why is it filed under "Real Occurences?" Have I misunderstood the text of the article?

Response: From what I have read, it seems as if the story is real, however many fake diaries have been created & published regarding his story. Therefore, while some of the books about him contain fiction, the core of the story is true. 83.40.2.54 01:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Henry Hudson

IS Henry Hudson, the explorer, eligible for the castaway entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poldebol (talk • contribs) 05:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
