Maybe everyone already knew? Or maybe they were afraid to ask?

"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax
and get used to the idea." - Robert A. Heinlein

Perhaps we knew already. Besides, I'd rather ask Mr. Google than confess my
ignorance here!

Mr. Google sez:
Grimenza. Ship. Struck Brampton Reef, off Queensland, 4 July 1853. Captain
William Collin. She was bound for Peru with eight hundred Chinese on board. The
master, mate, doctor, bosun and several others left hurriedly in the best boat
and after a voyage of 25 days, landed at New Ireland (PNG). A second boat
containing eleven hands also escaped, later picked up by the ship Sophia. They
made for Mackay but were picked up and taken on to Calcutta. At least 650 of the
coolies lost their lives. [LQ],[HH1 - lost 1854, 750 Chinese died]
This should rate as Australia's greatest civil disaster, but that dubious honour
is generally reserved for the Cataraqui on King Island, 1845.

Wow Scootz, now he's picking on you!
Must be something to do with you owning something other than a rusty
tug and having a wife who doesn't hang around "couples" forums.

Why are you surprised? Nobody asked about Donny, did they?

I assumed that W. Collin was just another person who had totally humiliated
you in public!
