An OTRS ticket says the QM was never there. "There could be confusion with the old Manoora or the old Kanimbla which were there during the war and were camouflaged. Wartime secrecy provisions possibly prevented them from being identified at the time, and they were as big as anything ever to be in the port at that time, but the Mary would not have been able to maneuvered and had too great a draft to utilise the port." I certainly can't verify the claim so have removed it. Please don't put it back without a reliable source. Thanks.

:At 1,019 feet it would have been hard to confuse the [[RMS Queen Mary|Queen Mary]] with either {{HMAS|Manoora|1935}} or {{HMAS|Kanimbla|1936}} which were both less than half her length, especially since she has three funnels and they each only had one. As for draught, the {{MV|Sygna}}, which we know was there, had a draught around the same as that of the Queen Mary. --[[User:AussieLegend|AussieLegend]] ([[User talk:AussieLegend|talk]]) 22:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Latitude and longitude

Could someone find out the latitude and longitude of Port Stephens and add it to the article so that they could be used as an input to Google Earth and other map applications? --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 04:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Queen Mary

An OTRS ticket says the QM was never there. "There could be confusion with the old Manoora or the old Kanimbla which were there during the war and were camouflaged. Wartime secrecy provisions possibly prevented them from being identified at the time, and they were as big as anything ever to be in the port at that time, but the Mary would not have been able to maneuvered and had too great a draft to utilise the port." I certainly can't verify the claim so have removed it. Please don't put it back without a reliable source. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 15:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At 1,019 feet it would have been hard to confuse the Queen Mary with either HMAS Manoora (1935) or HMAS Kanimbla (1936) which were both less than half her length, especially since she has three funnels and they each only had one. As for draught, the MV Sygna, which we know was there, had a draught around the same as that of the Queen Mary. --AussieLegend (talk) 22:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
