Why has this come up again in the news? Seems some salvage guy wants to find her, but there is little [I would say no] chance of her being afloat, she has not been sighted for nearly a year. Old thread from last year. Think The Sun from where this appears to have spread around the world from, is short of real news. The UK MCA and Irish Coastguard have also said there have been no recent sightings.

In the USA we call this tabloid media ... usually sold at supermarket checkouts with stories about how Obama is really an alien, Elvis is working as a security guard in Las Vegas, and the two headed chicken that attacked a housewife out west! Or that Captain Smith was found alive in a lifeboat having drifted around the Atlantic for the past 100 years.

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC fame closed her show this evening with the latest report of the ship ending her saunter around the oceans somewhere in Ireland or on the South UK coast, with a toast ...

Her Friday end of week installment of Rachel does liquor and tonight's selection was a shot of Irish liquor.

Rats not included !!!
