THE GREATEST SHIP COLLISION IN MARITIME HISTORY THE GREATEST SHIP COLLISION IN MARITIME HISTORY compiled by Dee Finney Records show that there is a ship collision on the average of every 5 days. Not all results in deaths. - missing - and not found can be assumed to be dead. 9-30-07 - DREAM - I've had a lot of complicated dreams, and this one probably beats them all. Everyone has at least one rival or enemy in the business of what I do. Some love my work and some don't.

Some think I'm a great prophet and some think that what I do is 'evil' based on religious grounds. In that vein, I was writing a web page about 'The Greatest Ship Collision in Maritime History' because that is what I dreamed. In my dream I actually experienced the collision in real life as it was occurring, and then dreamed it like the ship was made of green plastic (similar to the greenhouse Joe and I are building in our yard) It seemed so real, that after the dream I woke up and asked Joe if he had heard an news about a ship explosion somewhere.

While I was working on my web page, I went to my rival's web page to see what she was talking about. She was talking about me and her opinion of my work, which was not very nice, but I thought I would make peace with her because I also dreamed that she and I both moved and ended up living right across the street from each other. So, I purchased a large bouquet of roses and took them to her house which was on the other side of town. My rival, a blonde woman about the same age as myself or perhaps a few years younger, with short curly hair, greeted me at the door. She reluctantly took the roses and looked extremely skeptical at me as I was trying to make peace with her.

I could see why - her boss was there - an older woman than myself - and she was telling her what to write. We had held hands for a short time while I was delivering the roses, but now that her boss was there watching, she dropped my hand and went back to being completely her nasty self. My rival said that a book had come out where people were quoted as to my work and nothing was positive. She said that she was going to be quoting liberally from that book. I wanted to tell her about my dream about the ships but was reluctant at that point. I wanted her to know what was going to happen.

Just as I left, I told her about the ship collision that I had dreamed and left the building. I was satisfied now that she knew what was going to happen in the future.

I felt very tired as I walked home because I had not really made peace with my rival. As I got back to my own office building, I ran into two people who had injured themselves. Both were wearing grey gabardine coveralls like workman.

One complained he had injured his arm, and the other complained he had injured his leg. The one who injured his leg said that he needed new grey pants, but I didn't have access to any to help him. So, I continued walking up the stairs to the 4th floor to my office, where I was working on a map of the United States because the weather was changing all over the country, and I was putting a coating of light orange paint all over the map - the kind of paint you could see the color, but still see the features beneath. My boss walked in and asked me if that was my original art work, and I was honest and told him that I hadn't created the map, but was just coloring it orange like it was going to look in the future. Another co-worker came up on my left side and pointed out the names of the original authors of the map work was printed right on the map.

I was running out of orange paint at that point so the western states didn't get as much orange paint as they deserved. I really needed to get back and write about the ship collision, because I wanted to be able to stop it from happening, but knew I couldn't do that. I didn't know which two ships it was, just that there were so many people on both ships, that the death toll was the largest of any two ships colliding - ever. ~~~~ 2-26-08 - Last night I had three dream/visions which referred to ship danger. The first one showed me a dark blue loose leaf black bound book with a dark blue cover that said simple: SURVIVAL The other two showed me a page of dark blue seed beads lined up, also referring to the danger to ships, and when I attempted to touch the dark blue seed beads, they turned to a page of dark and dirty seed beads.

I can't say for certain what this means, but it's not good. Dee Ship collision. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ship collision is the structural impact between two ships or one ship and a floating or still object. Ship collisions are of particular importance marine accidents. Some reasons for the latter are: • The environmental impact, especially in the case where large tanker ships are involved. However, even minor spills from any kind of merchant ship can form a threat to the environment.

• The loss of human life. • Financial consequences to local communities close to the accident. • The financial consequences to ship-owners, due to ship loss or penalties. As sea routes are getting denser and ship speeds higher, there is a good possibility that a ship may experience an important accident during her lifetime. Higher speeds may cause larger operational loads, like, or excessively severe loads, for example during a collision.

Denser sea routes increase the probability of an accident – in particular a collision – involving ships or ships and shore or offshore structures. Due to extremely large masses and relatively high velocities the energy involved in such an accident is astonishing: the collision energy of a 10000t RoRo passenger at a speed of 30kn, is equivalent to 10000 cars of approximately 1t each, impacting a small area with a speed of approximately 55km/h (the speed used in side impact tests for cars). : North Korea allowed a South Korean cargo vessel to return home Wednesday after investigating its crew members over a ship collision that left two North Koreans dead, an official said. North Korea told South Korea in a telephone call that the cargo ship carrying seven people left a North Korean port around 3 p.m. (0600 GMT) to return to the South, said Kim Ho-nyeon, a spokesman at the South Korean Unification Ministry.

South Korea's Coast Guard said the vessel crossed into South Korean waters and was sailing toward a southern port. Kim said the North also promised to send South Korea official documents detailing its investigation into Tuesday's collision between the cargo ship and a North Korean fishing boat in waters north of the eastern sea border between the Koreas. Two North Koreans died after their fishing boat sank following the wreck. However, its two other crew members were rescued by the South Korean vessel that was transporting sand from the North, according to the Unification Ministry. The South Korean ship subsequently sailed to North Korea's Jangjon Port for questioning, the ministry official said. Later Wednesday, the North's official media reported the military sent a separate message stating the country has decided to take 'the fraternal measure' of sending back the South Korean ship because the collision was an accident that took place in the middle of the night.

'This incident took place as the captain of the South's cargo ship failed to detect our fishing boat that was in front of his ship, as he was solely navigating it after letting his tired crew members sleep,' said the message, carried by the Korean Central News Agency. A North Korean state-run trading company also sent a message Wednesday to its South Korean business partner responsible for excavating the sand, proposing a meeting between the sides to resolve the issue, according to the Unification Ministry.

The North's Korea Joining Trading Company said it would let the South Korean boat return home under a 'humanitarian, fraternal viewpoint,' it said. An Hyun-ja, an official at Seoul-based Acheon Global Co., confirmed her company received an official message from its North Korean business partner but did not provide details of the message. Acheon Global brings North Korean sand to the South for use in construction projects. South Korea's Daebul Construction Co.

Owns the ship. The collision came amid continuing tensions between the two nations over the shooting death last month of a South Korean tourist vacationing at that resort. The North has said the tourist was shot because she entered a restricted military area and ignored warnings to stop. In response, South Korea halted tourist visits to the resort, demanding the North allow investigators into the area.

The two Koreas are still technically in a state of war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. Ties between the countries have soured since a pro-U.S., conservative government took office in February in Seoul with a harder line on the North. 20th August 2008 Masbate, The Philippines -- A dolphin rescued a fisherman after his fishing boat capsized Saturday in the wake of typhoon 'Frank' off Negros, although both of them died upon reaching the shore of Burias Island in Masbate. Online news site Visayan Daily Star reported Thursday that a survivor who witnessed the incident recounted the episode Wednesday.

The dolphin rescued Joseph Cesdorio, 34, a fisherman from Cebu who was among the crew members of the F/B Nicole Louise 2, a Cadiz-based fishing boat. Caratao said he saw a dolphin, which was about the size of an adult human, drag and push Cesdorio, 34, toward Burias Island. Unfortunately, neither Cesdorio nor the dolphin survived, he added. The story of the dolphin’s heroism was corroborated by other survivors who were aboard the Nicole Louise 2. One of them told local radio reporters that because of what he witnessed, he vowed never to eat dolphin meat again. The body of Cesdorio, which was retrieved from Burias Island, was among the four fatalities brought to Cadiz City and was claimed by his father who is a resident of San Jose, Cebu.

Sydney Harbor Boat Collision Death Toll Reaches Six (Update1) By Ed Johnson May 2 (Bloomberg) -- A boat crash on Sydney Harbor between a fishing trawler and an overloaded cruiser claimed a sixth life after a man died in hospital from brain injuries, police said. The collision took place in the early hours of yesterday morning, triggering a rescue operation on the harbor involving more than 50 emergency workers, police boats and helicopters, New South Wales police said. Four women and a man died at the scene, while another man died yesterday at the city's Royal North Shore Hospital. Officers released the identities of five of the six victims, aged between 20 and 29.

Embassy in Canberra said one was American. The accident, described by police as the worst fatal crash on the in living memory, came a month after the state's transport safety watchdog called for tighter regulation of recreational boating on Sydney's waterways. Police yesterday impounded both vessels for forensic tests. Officers are determining whether possible consumption of alcohol played any part in the collision, said Superintendent Mark Hutchings of Marine Area Command. ``A number of people were breath tested and a number of people had blood samples taken from them,' he told reporters.

Repair Company The six dead and eight injured were on board a seven-meter (23-foot) half-cabin cruiser which belongs to a ship repair company and is licensed to carry only eight people. John McPherson, whose company owns the boat, said yesterday it was taken from its berth without permission and wasn't being used by any of his workers. Most of the injured and dead were workers or customers at a bar in the Sydney harbor-side suburb of Balmain, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. The crash came 13 months after an out-of-service commuter ferry and a private cruiser collided beneath the Harbor Bridge, killing four people, including two international skating judges. In a report on that accident issued in late March, the called for tighter boating license regulations and an increased number of police patrols on the harbor. To contact the reporter on this story: in Sydney at Last Updated: May 2, 2008 00:04 EDT Five die after cabin cruiser is hit by trawler in Sydney harbour• Rohan Sullivan, Associated Press in Sydney •, • Thursday May 1, 2008. Five people were killed and another nine injured after a trawler collided with a cabin cruiser in the dark in Sydney harboure.

The collision threw all 14 people aboard the cruiser into the water and left the vessel badly damaged, a police spokesman said. All the dead and injured - who were aged between 18 and 31 - had been in the smaller boat. The harbour is the site of Australian landmarks such as the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the crash was in an area where sightseeing is common. But it was cold as well as dark at the time of the collision, and the manager of Sydney Ship Repair and Engineering, which owns the six-metre (23-ft) half-cabin cruiser, designed to carry eight passengers, said it was not on company work at the time; staff arrived at work to find it missing. The manager, John McPherson, told a local newspaper that all his workers had been accounted for and none worked overnight. The injured are in hospital, where a doctor said one injured man was in critical condition, two were in a serious condition, while the others had minor injuries.

Australia's prime minister Kevin Rudd told a radio station he was shocked by news of the collision: 'This is every parents' nightmare. For the parents of those who have lost their lives this is just a terrible, terrible day.'

Passing vessels raised the alarm and pulled injured people from the water, which was chilled by a cold snap in what is Australia's autumn. Ambulance and water police described a chaotic scene as the injured were treated on a small wharf before being moved to hospital. 'It was pitch black, quite cool,' said an ambulance inspector, Stephanie Radnidge. Collisions are rare in the harbour of Australia's largest city. It was once a busy commercial port, but is now dominated by pleasure craft, passenger ferries and cruise ships. Coast Guard Lt.

Nineteen missing, feared dead as two ships collide off Hong Kong Sun, 23 Mar 2008 01:28:02 GMT Hong Kong - Marine police divers in Hong Kong were Sunday searching for survivors after at least 19 crew members were lost as two ships collided in thick fog. Seven people - six men and one woman - were pulled from the waters between Hong Kong's Lantau Island and its Kowloon peninsula after the tugboat and freighter collided at around 9 pm on Saturday.

Some crew were thrown into the water by the force of the collision while others are believed to have been trapped inside a cabin aboard one of the vessels, a marine police spokesman said. The freighter sank after the collision, which took place near to a group of islands called The Brothers a few miles from the runway of Hong Kong International Airport on Lantau island. Thick fog had reduced visibility to as little as 700 metres at the time of the accident. Fireboats and a government helicopter joined in the search for survivors Sunday morning.

If the 19 missing are confirmed dead, the incident will count as the worst single marine accident in Hong Kong's busy but closely regulated waters for decades. Copyright, respective author or news agency Body of Missing Sailor Found By Associated Press 5:45 AM CST, March 6, 2008.

Navy P3 Orion and Malaysian patrol craft have joined Philippine Navy and Coast Guard rescue teams frantically searching for fourteen crewmen of an ill-fated cargo ship that floundered in heavy seas after a tropical storm surge whipped up huge waves in the Sulu Sea this weekend. The search is taking place near the Tuabataha reef, where the vessel went down late Thursday night. Four crewmen of the vessel, the MV Mia, left San Fernando town in Cebu province and were two days overdue when a search party found the men, radio reports said.
