I've just read your message on the talkpage, it is a terrible loss of such a beautiful maritime relic. Meateater 13:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Couldnt agree more. A living link with the past killed off in what seems either to have been carelesness (or who knows what else!)I was in shock, and checked the page just to see if it had been updated yet.I hope they can rebuild it but it's probably been buckled by the heat (according to Radio Four news). Somebody should have to answer questions as to how it happened (why did the fire brigade believe there was flammable material stored on the ship? that held them back for what were potentially the crtitical minutes they could have used to save most of the ship!). ممتاز 08:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
