I guess I am trying, like everyone else interested in the Waratah, to find the truth about the ship, rather than the hype and hysteria from the time. Also, if the Waratah, suitably loaded and ballasted, was not top heavy unstable when she went to sea, I feel that it is unfair that she be labelled a top heavy vessel. We have to be damn sure about that, otherwise her legacy will be tainted.ANDREW VAN RENSBURGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03632303307052209160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789080065504006399.post-3485973958724502152015-10-22T23:50:34.576+02:002015-10-22T23:50:34.576+02:00Maybe and maybe not.

The fire/explosion theory can very well stand on it's own legs nevermind any stability issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547848840918724128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789080065504006399.post-74390380430363246952015-10-22T17:36:42.050+02:002015-10-22T17:36:42.050+02:00Johan, my personal feeling is that if the Waratah ...Johan, my personal feeling is that if the Waratah had not disappeared, the 50% would probably have dropped to < 10%.
