Do ships wash ashore? Only whales and big sea creatures do. Mind your language.
Scrap that motherfucker
ghana is not safe. disappointed
WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS ON MATTERS SUCH AS THIS MISTERY WHICH DEMANDS IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION AND INFO TO THE PEOPLE FOR ACTION AND PRECAUTION.
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.
Professor of English, I think the word is "drifted"
Irinically, I have just been reading a story about a yacht drifting on the seas in the Pacific and when it was inspected by the Philippine Police, they found a dead man in. ...

Somebody trying to ship All of you out of the country to some unknown destination?
The ship to take them to their new country, Western Togoland is here, what are they waiting for? They should start boarding the ship to their new country.

"A ship has run aground on the shore" is a better expression.
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.
Okay simply: a ship was seen ashore..." or .." a ship found itself near the shore..." ebei!
WHY DDNT U TELL US WHAT SHIPS DO?
This is a "carcass" of a ship, probably a ship that sank several years ago. In that case, the ship can be "washed" ashore.
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"
RE:ENGLISH.. U Shd hv said.."too knowing" it x jx a correction bt nt a competition.
If it says "Lome" on it and Lome Togo is just a stone away why wont they call the Togolese authorities?
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.
THE CROW IS MISSING ONLY THE SHIP WASHED ASHORE VERY VERY STRANGE O
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:

No security in Ghana. They came to deliver weapons to the wicked ndc party. They tried to cross the border the last time. It did not work. They succeeded this time. The security agency need to be careful. Ghana is not safe a ...

Seriously? No navy visit or inspection? Who is guarding our shores? Why are we buying all these ships for the navy? It is clear that our sea territory was visited by pirates and that is the evidence.........UNLESS THERE IS A ...

How can some Ghanaians talk in such an irresistible manner? What are we passing unto our children, or how do we want the international community to see us? I feel so ashamed to belong to a country whose citizens do have no r ...

Stupid comments.
crazy dude the security you people always accuse of being in bed with the govt?
It is quite clear this ship was deserted and illegally dumped in Ghana's coastal waters. This might possibly contain some toxic waste materials.
Perhaps Ghana's Government should seek help and information from the US and U ...

Ghana should send it to middle of the sea near Europe if there tonic in it
It is coming to pick up the voltarians who want to separate from Ghana
Just what I've just been thinking. Ready to pick people out of Ghana.
Be careful Y'all
Can't help yourselves
What do you mean
"can't help yourselves"
Has anyone asked you for help?
We are discussing a drifted ship here not some "crackhead hallucinations"!!
Hahahaha, Zion Ship; for Zion Sail! To????
How many servings of that RAT SHIT soup did you eat again today? See the SHIT coming out of you?
LOOL HAHAHAHAA I LAUGH AAAA I WAN DIE SELF, THIS ONE B MODERN DAY SLAVE TRADE OOO..THE PEOPLE WHO JUST ENTER THE SHIP WILLINGLY WITHOUT BEEN CHASED AROUND.LOOL GH STAND UP
are we safe in Ghana? The navy command should be dismissed immediately. how can such a ship get to our shores without the Ghana Navy noticing? We are been protected by God.....God help us
W can even track a whole ship on our shores until it is washed ashore and yet we are ready for terrorists. Jokers.
It looks more like a barge rather than a ship.
National security u act to slow and that is dangerous for mother Ghana and her children
You right..
GHANA YOU MUST BE CARFULL O
I cry for such a thing. where was the Ghana Navy when this ship was come. One day God forbid we will be caught with our panties down cos we wide naked. This is how a country can be invade and destroy.
AFLAO CITIZENS MUST BE VERY CAUTIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW IS THE COUNTRY'S NAVY PROTECTING THE COAST OF GHANA? A SHIP DRIFTS INTO THE WATERS OF GHANA, ONTO THE COAST OF A TOWN IN GHANA AND THE GHANA NAVY HAS NOT BEEN ON THE SPOT YET TO ASCERTAIN WHAT IS GOING ON? ARE WE SERIOUS?
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 ...

It,s not a ship but a barge.
RUN PEOPLE RUN
This's a sign that the coast guards are uncapable on their field of ACTIVITIES for a mysterious ship to enter territory unnoticed.
WHY ARE GHANAIANS SO WORRIED ABOUT THIS? THE NAVY SHOULD GO TO OBINIM AND THE MYSTERY WILL BE SOLVED. HAHAHAHAHA EISH; GHANA AY3 HU

Why are some people taking this in to politics?no body knows the purpose of the ship so why can't we reseach thoroughly and stop uneccessary noice...
This remonds me of The Tempest written by Shakespeare where Prospero's magic ran his enemy's ship aground by employing the powers of Ariel and employing Caliban to do menial jobs.
Our coast line is littered with abandoned barges and ships, but indeed to assume that the coast guard is not aware of this wretched wreck is preposterous. There is nothing they could have done except to allow it to settle and ...

Security agencies need to move post haste, as this could be a menace.
Please stay away from this shit (sic)
S'il vous plaît restez loin
It's a barge not a ship! Ghanaweb always giving a crap of info to its readers.
Govt should take immediate steps to identify the last owners and get them remove the ship from our territorial waters immediately. The abandoned ship could be containing TOXIC WASTES!!!
hmmmmm ey3 asemoooooh
Buccaneers or sea pirates are always the prime suspects in circumstances when vessels are attacked on high seas but with new tactics been adapted by the various terrorists groups, one cannot rule out terrorism in the case of ...
