Australia finds shipwreck 55 years after deadly disaster (BBC) (MV Noongah, 1969, NSW)

Clonmel date

According to contemporary reports, PS Clonmel was wrecked around 3am 1 January 1841. I hesitate to correct the date in the table, as I've been "shot down in flames" before. :) Doug butler (talk) 02:18, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. The sources in the PS Clonmel article say it was wrecked on 3 January, and most of the sources I found through Googling say it was the 2nd. I'll add a note to the Clonmel article about the inconsistency, and just change the date in the table to "January 1841". DoctorKubla (talk) 09:31, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have expanded the PS Clonmel and 3 or 4 am on the 2nd for the grounding seems uncontroversial (I was wrong). Doug butler (talk) 22:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SS Brisbane

I think the article is missing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Brisbane_(1874) in the Northern Territory. Not sure how to add it with all those fancy tags sorry. djambalawa (talk) 02:09, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi djambalawa, I have added it for you. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 04:01, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate GPS Datum

Hi all of the GPS coordinate notations do not display the DATUM. We all know that the location of the object changes when a different Datum is used. Please advise which datum is used in the shipwreck lists. Thanks Harold Habgood —58.111.149.48 (talk) 08:22, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Harold Habgood, please refer to Template:Coord where you will find mention of WGS84. I think there is no requirement to include such information in this article as it is on the page about the ‘template’, this article is a list and because the use of the article (and any associated articles) as a guide for users of GPS receivers is probably beyond the scope of the Wikipedia.

MV Noongah

The MV Noongah is missing from this list, and is likely also notable enough to merit a stand-alone article (see Refideas above). The BBC source states that "The 71m (233ft) freighter was carrying steel off the coast of New South Wales when it ran into stormy weather in 1969, sparking one of the biggest maritime searches in Australian history." -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:50, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
