A bad name is a bad omen, all sailors know that.

A patch for one of the "five faults" must have been buggy.

But the SS Explorer is still afloat (well it will be after restoration). And the
HMS Explorer is still commissioned but the first HMS Explorer was known locally
as 'HMS Exploder' :)

Why oh why was it given a certificate of worthiness with open lifeboats? That
IMO is criminal.
