I have not seen any wire type antennas for several years now on any of the container ships, tankers or cruise ships that I see going and coming to Vancouver. The disappearance of these antennas from commercial ships was almost immediate once that CW and 500kHz, along with the resident RO's, had been dropped. Steve / VE7SL Mayne Island, B.C.
