Here's an Australian Associated Press article on the appearance of a Pasha Bulker advert on eBay. [1] Worth mentioning? -- saberwyn 12:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
( PAuLw1985 12:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC))
I've just added some details based on a couple of news reports. One was in the 23 June Newcastle Herald. I've tried adding a citation but while there are photos of everything else on line the crease in the hull doesn't seem to be shown anywhere. I don't have a copy of the newspaper edition to cite so if anyone can find the information, either on-line or from the actual newspaper it would be greatly appreciated. -- AussieLegend 08:36, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Should something regarding the protest Greenpeace undertook recently against coal, be included? The protest included projecting images and text onto the Pasha Bulkers body.
There is no justification for this section to be in an encyclopedia article. Greenpeace are basically an extremist, anti-capitalist organisation. Quite frankly who cares what extremists like them actually think. Grizzlybear82 02:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Cn anyone find any articles regarding the ship becoming a Newcastle tourist attraction? I think the article could do with a bit of info about this. Nomadtales 22:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
i havnt found any articles about it, but ANYONE whos been there know it has on a massive scale, took me 10 mins to get to the beach's car park, people just everywhere walking into my shots, its crazy ( PAuLw1985 22:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC))
It has become somewhat of an icon of Newcastle, for example Musos Corner used it in their advertisement and T-Shirts and stubby holders featuring the boat are being sold. -- Waynekruse 11:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know why the salvors haven't pumped the oil off the vessel? Albatross2147 22:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
A significant amount of info can also be found here along with almost any other ship related event.

The planning phase section refers to the planning phase before the actual attempts were made. In addition, the reference used by 203.129.60.236 does not confirm the assertion that the vessel "will" be towed. The reference clearly says "may". -- AussieLegend 05:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
http://www.bigpond.com/news/topstories/content/20070726/1989112.asp and radio reports(in Perth) have the Pasha Bulker as having left Newcastle to day. Gnan garra 07:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
The article says the Kyu Maru was a tug that towed the PB to asia. The Kyo Maru is actually one of the Japanese Whaling vessels

I have restored the material on Pasha Bulker being the target of a Greenpeace protest as a) this protest was notable - it recieved extensive media coverage and is a good example of how the ship attracted public attention and b) the only reason given for removing it was 'left wing' crap' and 'extremist left wing rubbish'. Whatever you think about Greenpeace (and personally I don't have much time for them) the protest was notable and the wording seems fairly neutral, though it could doubtlessly be improved. I've also restored the statement that the ship sails under a flag of convenience as this is clearly correct - she was built in Japan, is owned by a Japanese company, operated by what seems to be a European company and yet is registered in Panama. -- Nick Dowling 02:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I just feel that like so many articles on Wikipedia it would seem to exhibit a very left-wing slant. I can honestly say that I dont remember seeing anything about the so-called protest in the media. I wont change it again because i really cant be bothered getting into an edit war. Grizzlybear82 02:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I was in the UK at the time; apart from that you would have to consider the Sydney Morning Herald and the ABC to have a left-wing bias. Grizzlybear82 02:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
According to recent edits the name of the ship has been changed. However, Lauritzen Bulkers Long List, dated 10 May 2008 still shows the name of the ship as Pasha Bulker. The only references that I've been able to find supporting the name change are two articles; one in the Sydney Morning Herald, dated 6 April 2008 [2] and the other, dated 15 April 2008 in Transport & Logisitics News. [3] A brief reference was also made in an aricle on abc.net.au, dated 7 April 2008. [4] The name change needs to be cited properly and the page should probably be moved to MV Drake. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 11:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Which is the current name? The title says Xanthea. The text says Anthea. Ptilinopus ( talk) 08:47, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
The article discusses the rescue of the ship's crew. With a view to developing this sub-topic, can anyone help find reliable sources that should be included in the article that may be used to develop the reasons for this rescue? Matters that would could be discussed in the article include the reason why it was critically important to rescue the crew under such adverse weather conditions, with attendant risks, given that there was no chance of the vessel sinking or capsizing and that it had bottomed-out on the reef. Was it a matter of the possibility of the vessel catching fire, for example? Or, was it the irrepressible want of rescuers to do a rescue rather than wait for the weather to pass? Hopefully, delving into the reasons for the rescue will develop a significant element of the Pasha Bulker story. Benyoch ( talk) 08:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
So my original question stands ... Why was it apparently so critically important to rescue the crew under such adverse weather conditions, with attendant risks of doing so in an extremely hazardous environment? Benyoch ( talk) 21:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
