    WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS ON MATTERS SUCH AS THIS MISTERY WHICH DEMANDS IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION AND INFO TO THE PEOPLE FOR ACTION AND PRECAUTION.

  • VICTOR CARRILLACE OFINAM-ANTWI 8 years ago

    THE INSCRIPTION OF THE SAID SHIP TELLS US ITS ORIGIN. THE WORRY IS WHY THE COAST PATROLS DID NOT SEE ITS INTRUSION INTO GHANAIAN WATERS. BE WARE OF TROJAN HORSES, GHANA NAVY.

    "A ship has run aground on the shore" is a better expression.

  • Kweku Donsuro 8 years ago

    Yes, a ship cannot be washed ashore. It can be listing, floundering and run aground as Abena pointed out. All that is shipwreck, where the ship beaches or drifts onto the rocks and is grounded.

  • Abonsam Fireman 8 years ago

    Okay simply: a ship was seen ashore..." or .." a ship found itself near the shore..." ebei!

  • THOMAS DUKORMEVI 8 years ago

    WHY DDNT U TELL US WHAT SHIPS DO?

  • Odikro 8 years ago

    This is a "carcass" of a ship, probably a ship that sank several years ago. In that case, the ship can be "washed" ashore.

  • Fred 8 years ago

    Yes! ships can be washed ashore. It's an object! Unless otherwise (motorized) This's the English language and not a "nautical jargon class"
    Too known "Ghanaian"

  • MR. EL-DEENI 8 years ago

    RE:ENGLISH.. U Shd hv said.."too knowing" it x jx a correction bt nt a competition.

  • Wisdom 8 years ago

    If it says "Lome" on it and Lome Togo is just a stone away why wont they call the Togolese authorities?

  • Billy 8 years ago

    You are correct. Lome Port is just about three kilometers away from Aflao border. it may be an abandoned ship there which the tidal waves have pushed to Aflao. The Togolese Authorities will definitely come for it.

  • sam 8 years ago

    THE CROW IS MISSING ONLY THE SHIP WASHED ASHORE VERY VERY STRANGE O

  • DIAMOND 8 years ago

    Well, if the ship is dead, totally wrecked, it can wash ashore can't it?

    Anyway, this ship looks too damn heavy to "wash ashore".

    There's something very spooky about this craft. Here's my take on the possibilities:

    Do we really have a Navy parading the coastline of Ghana to ward off anything undesirable?
    It is a serious indictment on Ghana Navy if, indeed, this ship drifted that close to land at the blind side of the Navy. The Naval h ...
