Christopher Stoneking
aka Haniba94
13.06.1994 : 19.01.2023
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Christopher Stoneking, aka Hanibal94, on January 19th. As you all know, Chris has been with Old Weather since the beginning of this project. He was our most prolific transcriber, and he kept us on track during our games of Shipopoly. We looked forward every Saturday for his contribution to the Dockside Gallery. He was active in the forum, and a pleasure to know. He will be greatly missed.
His family has set up a memorial page here.
Fair winds and following seas
may forever you feel, upon your cheek, the salty breeze.
Your spirit lives on in many a heart,
your words captured and never to depart.
May your loved ones be comforted knowing
that heaven is where you are going.
For all that they have to do is look above,
and they will be reminded of your love.
may forever you feel, upon your cheek, the salty breeze.

What a shocking, tragic waste. I've watched his life developing since he was at school, a young man of many talents who overcame many difficulties in his life and who seemed to be have found a niche where he could develop his career. May he rest in peace.

I, too, don't know what to say. I had not met Chris, nor even written to him personally, but his humor and energy reach all the way around the world in a time of worry and isolation. His work and contribution to the body of knowledge is more than most people several times his age.
May fair weather be yours always.

The Shipping Forecast has been mentioned many times over the years by our UK transcribers....

These clouds seem to have a different lining.
