Yeah, it's a given.

I think she'll make a good artificial reef.

Perhaps they can drag her to one of the new marine parks zones up at Port Stephens.

Why not, she's already made a new beach!

We've already got a rusty old wreck over on Stockton. We don't need another one. They will either get her off, or pull her to bits.

Hey, maybe we could "blow it up" like those yanks did to that whale back in the 70s or 80s, yep, that would be a good idea !!! :U :U :U

Those pics are old, they did the rounds of the e-mail last year some time.
They are also of the Selkirk Settler.

Here are some pics of it from a good angle.

Onya Cliff! :2tsup: They turned her seaward tonight and tomorrow may be able to pull her off. Those bulkers are quite expensive, so I hope they get her afloat. If not, more $$$ to S. Korea or Denmark. :)

Yeap, they turned it around but now it is leaking. :cool:

Hopefully they'd remove the 800 tonnes of oil on board first

Love the pix Cliff - looking at the river entrance - can hear Maxwell Smart telling the Chief

"Missed by that much"

Cliff, Photo number one shows some of the other ships anchored off shore.
There has been up to 70 or 60 ships at a time waiting to come in and load coal.
The ships are anchored for many miles (kilometres) along the coast.

nice pics Cliff
Slow progress is being made, so the morning news said.
hopefully it will be all over soon
That is, if the cable does't break....again

Looks like a beached whale with the pod offshore waiting for her to be sent back out.

Hope it doesn't make a mess - the locals love their beach

70 or 60 ships at a time waiting to come in and load coal.

Same thing happens here at the Hay point and Dalrymple bay loading facilities

Sorry Cliff,

Pictures posted in good faith. Punishment for me will be banning from WW for 2 hours, punishment for guy who sent photos to me will not be discussed here.

Cheers,

yeah who knows I thouht it would be a great idea to leave it.it has bought more people back to the city than ever..... turn it slightly for the southerly swell to come in and there will be some nice breaks coming off her for some fun waves fore the boardriders great place for a restaurant/niteclub and later down the track a good fishing spot

.......its time to go...........Pasha Bulker...........

She's Free..........:D

Yeap, they turned it around but now it is leaking. :cool:Not necessarily Cliff. She would have pumped ballast for the turn and that oil may be from the pumping.

I reckon that is the case otherwise if her tanks were breached she'd be screaming for a defueller to minimise the cleanup costs.

Cliff Rogers

2nd July 2007, 10:59 PM

I only heard the early news today, haven't seen or heard anything other than the weather since, looks like I should go & turn on the late news.

Groggy

2nd July 2007, 11:02 PM

Looks like she either got free or sank in ten feet of water :rolleyes:

Great stuff. The last thing we needed was another ship rusting on the beach.

Edit: Link here - she is free. (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/pasha-bulker-free-at-last/2007/07/02/1183228999518.html)

Some sources suggest that the oil spilt was simply lubricant (http://abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/02/1967797.htm) (hydraulic fluid ?) from the ships damaged prop ?

Apparently she has been pulled well out to sea tonight. Hope the beaches are all right. :)
