The article gives a sense that the ship became a threat to the Irish coast when it was 2,400 km "off Ireland". However, 2,400 km "off Ireland" is also known as 600 km "off Canada". It seems, from reading the sources, that the Irish coast guard was concerned about the path of the lost ship until the US NGIS reported it was 2,400 km "off Ireland", thereby confirming that it was no threat. Perhaps the article can be amended to give a better sense that the ship never got far from Canada before it sank. There is no report in any source that states that the signal from the beacon was received in Ireland. The emergency beacon was detected by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax (Canada) on February 23 and only reported in the Irish media a week later (according to the linked article in ''The Weekend Telegram''). <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/89.100.18.128|89.100.18.128]] ([[User talk:89.100.18.128|talk]]) 18:07, 8 October 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

The claim that this ship is inhabited by "inbred cannibal rats" appears to be conjecture from the [[The_Sun_(United_Kingdom)|The Sun]] the British tabloid and offers no substantive claims to it's legitimacy. [[User:Drumz0rz|Drumz0rz]] ([[User talk:Drumz0rz|talk]]) 22:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC) |

Current events tag?
Some of the language in this article make it seem like it should have a current events tag on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.21.252.240 (talk) 23:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
"Off Ireland"?
The article gives a sense that the ship became a threat to the Irish coast when it was 2,400 km "off Ireland". However, 2,400 km "off Ireland" is also known as 600 km "off Canada". It seems, from reading the sources, that the Irish coast guard was concerned about the path of the lost ship until the US NGIS reported it was 2,400 km "off Ireland", thereby confirming that it was no threat. Perhaps the article can be amended to give a better sense that the ship never got far from Canada before it sank. There is no report in any source that states that the signal from the beacon was received in Ireland. The emergency beacon was detected by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax (Canada) on February 23 and only reported in the Irish media a week later (according to the linked article in The Weekend Telegram). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.18.128 (talk) 18:07, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
