banaari 27 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 ahh so that's how you start a flood............ Not nice watching a boat go down - but pleased to read they rescued the ship's cat. Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yep hard to get an explosion going with just diesels in the engine room, but gas (lpg) or gassing from a battery bank can happen, then water in and the poor ship gone in deep water?? How is the cat anyway... Link to post Share on other sites
