Talk:MV Dunedin Star

Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories by Simon Winchester
This is a very enjoyable book. I highly recommend it for those who are interested in reading a biography about the Atlantic ocean. Most importantly, this biography highlights a true story of a wrecked container-ship named the MV Dunedin Star. The ship wrecked off the coast of Namibia, Africa along a treacherous region known as the skeleton coast. The 62 survivors were able to make it shore and were rescued after two months. However, all rescue attempts made by sea were complete failures. One in particular was the tug boat Sir Charles Elliot from Cape Town. The sinking of Sir Charles Elliot was very significant because throughout the entire fiasco (sinking of MV Dunedin star and Sir Charles Elliot) the only people to loose their lives were two male rescuers aboard the tug boat. Overall, this biography gets into depth with their stories and the hardships they faced. Unbelizable101 (talk) 11:33, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * What container ship? Dunedin Star was a refrigerated break-bulk shelter deck cargo liner. If "all rescue attempts made by sea were complete failures", what about the survivors that Temeraire's boat and Sir Charles Elliot transferred to Manchester Division, and those that Nerine took from the beach back to Walvis Bay?
