All of them. That's why they're called shipwrecks.

A salvaged shipwreck is no longer a shipwreck?

Also...in Lew's example of Lake Erie wrecks, I'm sure he's included the hundreds of pleasure craft that drunk 'sportsmen' have strewn about the lake bottom. How big a ship does it have to be to make The List?

[Swingman]

Not a sailor by any stretch, but when I was working on an offshore seismograph crew in my younger days the real sailors, who crewed our motor vessels, always made it known that it was a "boat" if it would fit on the deck of a "ship".

Considering some of the super tankers afloat these days, that might have changed.

[Doug Miller]

It has to be a *ship*. Pleasure craft aren't ships, they're boats.

I've known a few ex-submariners who might disagree with that... (For whatever reason, in the Navy, surface vessels are ships, and submarines are boats.)

[Robatoy]

So a boat causes a boat wreck? The art of sinking a vessel causes a shipwreck.

A salvaged shipwreck is no longer a shipwreck?

------------------------------------------------------------------ Do you know of many Entire Ships? Any salvage tends to be cargo. And getting back on topic, a couple of lumber salvages have been made and the lumber sold.

The story I always heard from my buddy that spent time on a submarine was the submarines are boats, surface vessels are targets.

You making fun of my house???

Luigi who still has shit-brown toilet bowls and sinks (a6t least you can't see the stains). Orange shag came out as soon as we moved in in 1990 to be replaced by oak (OBWW)

How about a woodworking group that makes bathroom fixtures from hardwood? We could call it the Birch John Society.

Actually, you couldn't. there is already a business (in Appleton, Wisconsin) registered under that name. The "Birch John Society, Inc." is apparently a book/magazine distributor.

There is also an unincorporated entity of the same name in Plano, Tx.

Can you think of _anyone_ with a house more deserving of it?

1. I's so sorry to learn you've broken your funnybone. It's a PUN, spoilsport. You're supposed to laugh, or groan, not act like an armchair lawyer.
2. IF those businesses do exist, that doesn't necessarily make the name unavailable. Intellectual property law is a fair bit more complicated than that.
