You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.162.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:03, 22 April 2027. Your current IP address is 54.162.56.123.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''SS ''Hibernia''''' was a [[steamship]] built in the shipyards Palmer Brothers & Company<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/Palmer1.html | title=Palmer Brothers & Co, Jarrow (1852-1865) | work=Tyne Built Ships Database | accessdate=8 December 2012}}</ref> of [[Jarrow]], [[County Durham]], [[England]], in 1861. The ship was made of iron, including three decks and six bulkheads. She was {{convert|360|ft|m}} long and {{convert|40|ft|m}} wide with a hold depth of {{convert|29|ft|1|in|m}}. She was 2,164 net tonnes with a thrust of {{convert|320|hp}}.

==Ship history==
Originally owned by the Atlantic Royal Mail Steamship Navigation Company of [[London]] it carried mail and passengers and was engaged in many other parts of the world in cable laying work. In 1872 ownership was passed over to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company of London. In 1873 ''Hibernia'' was also under contract to repair the French Atlantic Cable, that stretched from [[Brest, France|Brest]] to [[Saint-Pierre and Miquelon]] with Wilson Robert Cato as Master at [[Sheerness]].

''Hibernia'' assisted {{SS|Great Eastern||2}} in her laying [[Transatlantic telegraph cable|telegraph cables]] from [[Heart's Content, Newfoundland and Labrador|Heart's Content]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador|Newfoundland]] to [[Valentia Island|Valentia]], [[County Kerry]], [[Ireland]] in 1873 and 1874. This cable was originally ordered by the French Atlantic Telegraph Company just before its takeover by the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. After completion, because of the shorter route, {{convert|1000|nmi|km}} of cable was left and so additional cable was ordered to enable another cable to be laid, this being done in 1874. ''Hibernia''{{'}}s task was the laying the short ends of the cables that came ashore. 

After completion of the cable laying at Heart's Content ''Hibernia'' was sent to [[Brazil]] to replace broken cables between [[Pará]], [[Maranhão]] and [[Pernambuco]]. On 21 November 1877, ''Hibernia'' sank while anchored off Ponta d'Areia, near [[São Luís, Maranhão]]. All crew members were rescued and a few miles of cable were recovered.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.brasilmergulho.com/hibernia/ | title=Hibernia | work=Brasil Mergulho | date=21 November 1977 |language=pt | accessdate=30 January 2019}}</ref>
