Why is it mysterious that 25 people drowned? Baloogan 08:58, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
"had observed something the Japanese did not want them to see."
We could probably put back in the zombie theory of the dissapearance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.142.251 ( talk) 22:39, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
I've noticed that over time, almost every asserted fact has been tagged as needing a reference despite the fact that this article contains an older style wikipedia reference section that lists the books where the facts were obtained. When references have been given, slapping fact tags all over the article isn't particularly very helpful and can be viewed as vandalism. More helpful would be for the concerned tagger to utilize Google books to find the specific page and then to convert the older style reference list into inline citations. A large number of paranormal articles such as this one were written using the older format. Please be part of the solution and not part of the problem by resisting the urge to slap up gratuitous fact tags. Utilize the existing references when possible and simply convert them to inline cites. Also, one tag at the top saying additional references are needed is preferable to 4 or 5 section tags. The readers will get the point that one or more editors think better sourcing could be done. Defacing the article with so many tags has the effect of POV pushing. LiPollis ( talk) 04:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
I can't help but notice there's a glaring omission from the article. WHERE IT IS TODAY. The history stops at the early 1960s, with it being bought by Robin Maugham. Doesn't say if he kept it to this day, sunk it, whatever. This is an incomplete article. If anyone has the required information to complete this article, please bring it forth. 76.228.67.224 ( talk) 12:34, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
MV Joyita. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

I'm curious as to why a 69-foot yacht would carry a crew of 16. Normally a boat that size would need no more than 4-6 crewpersons. Indeed, I have never heard of a yacht that size carrying a crew of more than 7 or 8, even when catering to demanding owners/passengers (e.g., crewpersons providing service, rather than simply handling the boat). Can anyone explain why the Joyita would have such a large crew? Bricology ( talk) 00:16, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
The Joyita nominally needed a crew of ten seamen, including the captain. Only nine had gone on the month-long April trip, and it remains unclear why so many embarked in October. Several of them were young Tokelauans living in Apia who wanted to work on the Joyita for the sake of the wages, and the crew list may have been extended in order to help them. Some Tokelau crew members may have signed up because they wanted to pursue a scheme that called for the purchase of freehold land to establish a Tokelau settlement in which people from the atolls could be hosted by those already based in Apia.
