A lot of the links in the Current list of expeditions section need disambiguating! They are presumably ships, but link to whatever the ship was named after, not the ship itself. Can someone who knows about the subject check the blue links and adapt them as necessary? - MPF 10:50, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Working on it - I have already fixed the errors where Wikipedia already has an article. I'll be working on the others as time permits. -McMullen 8 July 2005 15:47 (UTC)
[edit] James Delgado
mr Delgado is a key member of the NUMA/Seahunters team, also he is the Executive Director of the Vancouver Maritime Museum, and has written at least one book that I have found. Is this sufficient to make it worth making a page about Mr. Delgado and linking it to NUMA / Seahunters / Vancouver Maritime Museum?
[edit] Waratah
"It has however become somewhat of a joke among some maritime clubs etc. Over the years many expeditions have failed dramatically. The most famous being that of the search for the "Waratah" a ship that disappeared in 1909. On one expedition they thought they had found the Waratah. It turned out to be a WW2 transport ship, with a cargo of tanks and munitions. Other expeditions have also turned out other embarrasing results."
Indeed they did fail to find the Waratah at around 9 different dive locations. But I have found nothing to indicate that they have become a "joke among some maritime clubs etc". Is that snippet a little biased, or is just me? They certainly aren't the first to dive on the wrong place of a wreck, and keep trying. The fact is the location of many wrecks is unknown.
[edit] Shipwreck law
Unless this article is missing some information about the subject, I do not see a reason for it to be in Category:Shipwreck law. Input, anyone? Maralia 23:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
