Freighters-fishing boats, fishing boats-yachts...
In Response To: The Wreck of the Lady Mary ()

It isn't just freighters running over fishing boats. On my trip down the Nova Scotia coast last Fall, on three occasions I had to alter course to stay clear of 100'+ trawlers. They were not engaged in fishing at the time, but running for port. As nearly as I could tell through binoculars from really too close, no one was on the bridge. Fortunately, most of the ocean is still pretty empty.
