Pacific Wrecks Forum

Satellite position data on the Nautilus position is available at vesselfinder.com. Use the map to find the Phoenix Islands and with the expanded scale, you will find the blue dot indicating the ship's position just off the western edge of Nikumaroro. Also a pink ship indicator showing the position o...

The EV Nautilus approaches the Phoenix Islands and plans on throughly searching Nikumaroro and surrounding deep ocean. I have lobbied the National Geographic expedition, through a third party contact and social media, to investigate the Orona lagoon location. My contact offers little hope that Orona...

The Nautilus has completed the search for the Samoan Clipper at American Samoa. They were unable to find anything on sonar or video with the deep water ROVs. The ship will next visit Nikumaroro and look for Amelia Earhart's plane. And yes the National Geographic now advertises the expedition as a se...

When I worked on Canton (Kanton) -1973-the Musick memorial was still in good shape. The Pan Am employees put up the little lighthouse and bronze plaque during the short time that Pan Am used Canton for Pacific flights to Australia/ New Zealand. I bring this up as I just read that Dr. Ballard's RV Na...

That worked. Followed directions in FAQ. Now when Photobucket scrambles my images I can replace them directly. But I need to find the edit button.

Trying once again.

Can anyone tell me the correct method for attaching images to posts? Is the edit button disabled? I can't find it.

Posting now to see if all my images can be uploaded directly rather than via photobucket. Photobucket begins charging users June 1 st. All photos are blurred on June 1 if user doesn't pay. Test<br> [img]http://OronaL10E.jpg_aquariusradar.com/OronaSaipanTheory.html[/img] <br>End test.

Bill Snavely's Buka Island--- "Buka wreck might be Amelia's"---is in the news again. The location has been known for some time. We wonder why Bill didn't get Bent Prop /Project Recover group to take an interest? Or this Pacific Wrecks? Could be a US WWII aircraft...or is it Amelia's. Most (Aviation ...

Photobucket is now running ok. The subscription policy there is changing and confusing. Users with lots of photos that use up a lot of bandwidth will have to start paying (up to $400 annual for the large data base). Using only a tiny amount of space, I haven't received a warning yet about paying. Bu...

Photobucket is having problems. No Photobucket users have access to their photos at this time.

Several of the images on pages 3 and 4 are not showing up. I am checking to see what has gone haywire.

One of the most significant clues that the image points to Japanese capture is the close proximity of the raft and airplane; indicating both went to the bottom together. The raft measures 4' X 8' indicating a two man raft as would be expected. The image analysis of the raft is even more simple than ...

The flight endurance question is the main reason many can't accept the Orona idea; Amelia said she was running low on gas-how could the additional 400 miles to Orona be flown? The Kelly Johnson papers on endurance for the L10E that Amelia flew indicates 4000 miles in still air given the flight altit...

The excitement of the news media over the bones analysis by a respected source using flawed data has run it's course and the bones idea seems to have retreated to the cemetery of proofs not overwhelming. The AE mystery investigation seems destined to sleep until another multimillion dollar search en...
