Overboard Equipment

[WingsVK97 0]

While watching the news tonight, they did a story on the cargo ship that has hit ground in England and people are loading up on the stuff that is falling off of it. At they end, they threw out a statistic of there being around 40,000 pairs of hockey gloves floating in the ocean where it's fallen off of the boat on it's way over here. I'm thinking, geez that's a lot gear! So I did some digging and found this.

The kicker being on the left side of the page about a incident, "1994: Cargo from two 20-foot-by-40-foot containers that fell overboard crossing the Pacific — about 34,000 hockey gloves, chest protectors and shinguards — washed up on the coastline between Oregon and Alaska"

Anyone remember this and more important, anyone get anything from it?

One myth to break in gloves is to rinse them in water to break in the palms. -Which is actually a bad thing to do to them, hurts them more then it breaks them in.

So I would guess that if anyone did get some, it wouldnt be worth wearing.

i wonder if the salt water makes the palms crusty.

Could this be Sanisports' new washing technique?

I never heard anything about it on the Oregon coast, but one time I found a Japanese booze bottle with a hermit crab inside of it.

So your saying if a car washed up by your house presumed lost at sea you'd be straight on the phone to the shipping company?

Well the VIN would show up when he tried to register it, so you'd have to go down the path TC described.

as soon as you would try to register it, you would be arrested, taking something thats not yours is stealing, the right thing to do is report it to the police and let them take care of it...

If you can't prouve you purchased something, it can be presumed as stolen goods, unlike what people are made to believe your guilty until prouven innocent...

no i havent heard anything about hockey gloves the ship was going from antwerp to south africa. aint been funny but not a nation known for ice hockey???!

the BMW cars and bikes were washed up, the cars had been smashed about in the containers due to the storms at sea. however one guy did pick himself up a bmw motorbike. it said on the news so long as you register anything washed up ( classed as wreck) you can basically keep it lol but police are saying different apparently..... full story here tho
