Clonmel date

According to contemporary reports, PS Clonmel was wrecked around 3am 1 January 1841. I hesitate to correct the date in the table, as I've been "shot down in flames" before. :) Doug butler (talk) 02:18, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Hmm. The sources in the PS Clonmel article say it was wrecked on 3 January, and most of the sources I found through Googling say it was the 2nd. I'll add a note to the Clonmel article about the inconsistency, and just change the date in the table to "January 1841". DoctorKubla (talk) 09:31, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Have expanded the PS Clonmel and 3 or 4 am on the 2nd for the grounding seems uncontroversial (I was wrong). Doug butler (talk) 22:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

SS Brisbane

I think the article is missing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Brisbane_(1874) in the Northern Territory. Not sure how to add it with all those fancy tags sorry. djambalawa (talk) 02:09, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi djambalawa, I have added it for you. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 04:01, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Coordinate GPS Datum

Hi all of the GPS coordinate notations do not display the DATUM. We all know that the location of the object changes when a different Datum is used. Please advise which datum is used in the shipwreck lists. Thanks Harold Habgood —58.111.149.48 (talk) 08:22, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Harold Habgood, please refer to Template:Coord where you will find mention of WGS84. I think there is no requirement to include such information in this article as it is on the page about the ‘template’, this article is a list and because the use of the article (and any associated articles) as a guide for users of GPS receivers is probably beyond the scope of the Wikipedia.
