Note - Neptune Papers #3 has been out of print for a number of years. At one time, an electronic version (updated through 1989) was available as a plain text file from the Greenpeace website. However, a recent search was unable to locate it, nor was the Greenpeace staff abel to locate a copy when contacted. Therefore, the staff of Lostsubs.com has decided to make it available to our visitors for download.
PDF File (237KB) - This is an Adobe PDF version of the original plain text file, as originally available for download from Greenpeace, covering naval accidents through 1989. Please note that the original file contained MANY grammatical errors and mis-spellings. None of these have been corrected. The copyright remains with Greenpeace.
