#4 Were these found in people's hands? Were they there at the beginning of the skirmish or after people were attacked and ran for weapons?
Quite frankly, I assume that most ships with that many people would have a galley and what appears to be the cutlery set from it. And I certainly go on boats with my pocket/hunting knives. Because accidents happen and sometimes you need to cut something loose.

So other than the few odd ones out and the (ceremonial?) dagger, I could find this on any boat...These pictures seem to only be to stir up more emotions, not as proof of any sort.

This whole situation stinks on both sides.

#6 let me rephrase that then if I may. The last boat I was on had a cutlery set and tons of pocket knives and hunting knives. I did say that there were things that did not fit, did I not?

It seems like a measly assortment of things considering the size of the boat and the situation. My question is merely where this was found. It is possible that I missed that part somewhere amongst all this information, but I think the question is pertinent and I don't like being called a liar.
