Not so much a great maritime adventure, more a piece of madcap tomfoolery, with just the possibility of something more sinister behind it, the Girl Pat escapade of 1936 attracted an awful lot of press attention in 1936, a year not exactly lacking in significant events. Oddly, the episode is barely mentioned in any of the social histories of the period, and I am particularly indebted to Tim Riley and SchroCat for providing me with many of the news sources used. No blockbuster this – 4,500 words and a few nice pics. Comments invited on all aspects from all comers. Brianboulton ( talk) 17:45, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
I loved this article, and my recent complaints about the depressing topics you've been choosing for FA are hereby amortised. Very little to add. I've corrected a few typos, which please check, and otherwise:
And that really is my lot. Wikipedia is in your debt for this rollicking article, though it is an absolute disgrace that while SchroCat and I have been flogging our guts out chez Olivier, you've been having a high old time with Girl Pat. Tim riley talk 22:19, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Very enjoyable indeed. A few minor glitches or possibly my misunderstanding:

I'm struggling to find anything but minor quibbles on this rollocking read! (Minor quibbles dealt with here - fee free to rv with anything you don't agree with). A couple of others have questioned the "temporary media sensation", so I am sure you will have dealt with it by the time you get down to here. One question arises, which is over the name of the article: as there is nothing to stop it, should this not be named [[Girl Pat]], rather than [[Girl Pat (1935 trawler)]], as per WP:NC-SHIP?
More anon when I've got to the end of this very enjoyable and amusing tale! - SchroCat ( talk) 08:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Finishing off...
Capture, detention and arrest
Hearings, trial and sentence
Aftermath
A rollocking good read, highly enjoyable and yet encyclopaedcally writted and neutral throughout. Please drop me a note when you go to FAC. - SchroCat ( talk) 10:52, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
