Talk:Careening

still afloat?
thought careening could also be done while the ship was still afloat. It would not be possible to reach the bottom of the vessel but much more of the below water line will be available.--Len 07:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

wrong picture
While it is an excellent picture, the boat is upright and I think careening implies lying a vessel on its side for cleaning, caulking, or repairing. Len (talk) 14:14, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

how often?
Article should say: How often was this done for ships of different times throughout the centuries? Tempshill (talk) 18:58, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Polish counterpart
The link to the Polish counterpart leads not where it should, since it leads to what in English is called 'keelhauling'. From the Polish article about keelhauling you don't get back here but rather go to English 'keelhauling', as of course it should be. Unfortunately, I don't know the Polish term for careening, so I can't pinpoint the exact page the link should lead to, if it exists at all. Kuj2 (talk) 15:39, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Dutch
The dutch translation is unknown to me, but 'kielhalen', where this page links to, is wrong. 'kielhalen' links correctly back to 'keelhauling'--Bancki (talk) 09:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Photo
The modern small boat is not on its side, the photo is therefore misleading and should be removed Lugnad (talk) 11:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC) ✅ Lugnad (talk) 01:33, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Painting
While it is an excellent painting Échouage des corvettes dans le canal mauvais means Stranding of the Corvettes in the Bad Channel. The ASTROLABE and the ZÉLÉE, ran aground while attempting to traverse Torres Strait. This has nothing to do with careening. The picture should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.44.76 (talk) 01:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Grammar
"One group of islands, Tres Marias, became popular when Francis Drake had sailed there in 1579 and quickly became a place for piracy"

The tenses are wonky, but more importantly, the sentence says that Francis Drake quickly became a place for piracy.... I'll change it. 87.112.244.29 (talk) 19:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
