The Strange story of the SS Warrimoo - gordi - 11-29-2018 There is an infamous ship which was once seen in Summer AND Winter, in TWO different centuries, in TWO different hemispheres of the Earth AT THE SAME TIME! Was it Time-Travel? A Time-Space Distortion? No. A Simple stroke of luck and some fine navigation skills placed the ship SS Warrimoo at exactly the right place at the right time to achieve the "impossible" feat of time / space displacement! Fellow Rogues. may I present The Strange Story of The SS Warrimoo... Quote:The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought the master, Captain John Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo's position was latitude 0 degrees x 31 minutes north and longitude 179 degrees x 30 minutes west. Quote:The consequences of this bizarre position were many. The forward part of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere and the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere and in the middle of winter. The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899. Forward it was 1 January 1900. Bizarre, but True! SOURCE Article G RE: The Strange story of the SS Warrimoo - BIAD - 11-29-2018 Wow! So a sailor could pick up his plate of salted sardines, then take a forkful and put it in his mouth saying -as he walked across the deck, "It'll be next year before I finish chewing this"!! A great article Gordi, thank you. RE: The Strange story of the SS Warrimoo - Wallfire - 11-29-2018 I can almost do better than that (almost). A few years ago a friend of mine wile we were walking along the bank of the river Tornio, took out a golf ball and his golf club, set the ball up and hit it as hard as he could , it almost got to the other side. Well he said, I hit that ball so hard it took an hour to get to the other side. ( The river Tornio is the river that flows between Sweden and Finland in Lapland. There is an hour different s between the two countries) RE: The Strange story of the SS Warrimoo - Mystic Wanderer - 11-30-2018 Great story!

I mean, that right there is TWO of the four basic food groups all rolled into one! The only ones left are beer and hot peppers! Inquiring minds want to know - and I've got to git me some of those! . |
