Hey everyone,
I've been combing through the details of the disappearance of William Hamilton Jr. and the others from 1978, and something about the boats found really has me puzzled. One skiff was submerged near Cruz Island, and the other was tied to a rock in Canoe Pass. Does anyone else think it's strange that one was submerged while the other was secured and left tethered? I can't help but wonder if they experienced some kind of mechanical failure or unexpected weather that forced them to separate, but then why leave a boat tied up? It seems so deliberate, almost like they planned to come back for it. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but it's been sticking with me.
Thoughts?
Hey everyone, I've been digging through some articles and forum threads about the disappearance of William Hamilton Jr. and the others. Has anyone else found the details about the skiffs super confusing? I mean, one was submerged near Cruz Island, and the other tied to a rock in Canoe Pass. It's been bugging me how different the conditions are for these boats, given they left around the same time. Do you think it suggests the group split up at some point, or could rough waters have separated them? There's gotta be something more to those skiff locations, right? Maybe someone with boating experience could weigh in on how that might have happened. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Hey everyone,
I’ve been diving into the details of the William Hamilton Jr. case from 1978, and something struck me as odd about the skiff that was found tied to the rock in Canoe Pass. Why would one skiff be submerged while the other was neatly tied up? It seems like a deliberate act, doesn’t it? Did someone plan for one boat to go missing and the other to stay put? It's almost like someone decided to leave evidence behind on purpose or needed the skiff for a quick return. I get that it was a long time ago, but if anybody has info on the tides or conditions in that area during that time, it might shed some light. Maybe someone familiar with boating terms and safety protocols from that era can weigh in on how common it was to tie a skiff that way when folks were in distress?
Always curious about other people's thoughts on this detail.
