Ghostboat
''Ghostboat'' is a 2006 British television film, based on a novel by George E. Simpson and Neal R. Burger. The film features David Jason as its star. It is a fantasy tale of His Majesty's Submarine ''Scorpion'' vanishing during the Second World War, leaving only one crew member (David Jason) surviving. 38 years later, in the Cold War year 1981, the ''Scorpion'' reappears; the crew have disappeared, but the vessel is otherwise unchanged and has not aged in the intervening years.

Reporter Eric Reidy has been investigating the case by blogging and using crowd sourcing. Bobbie Johnson, a senior editor at Medium, took Reidy's articles and created the ghost boat project to help track the missing group of "ghost boat" refugees. , no trace of the passengers has been found. Background The 243 people in the group who were to leave Libya paid $1600 to get to Europe. Measho Tesfamariam arranged the trip and "handled communication, logistics, and payment for the big smugglers". There were three other individuals who helped fill the bo ...
