One might ask what the Indians are doing near Lyra when they're going to Britain.

read the Indian news. The longer route is north circuling atlantis but the shape of the ship, as the message Captain Rajputi received form the oiler's captain the day before indicated the ship was in bad shape. The leader fo the group decided to follow the shorter route to try to protect the ship from the rougher North Atlantic waters and go through international waters protected by the two large island in the Atlantic, that would be calmer than open sea conditions.

I have to agree with Brock, for someone who accuses others of modern politics this is right up there.....and India wouldn't be taking the route between Lyra and the main Island of Atlantis. Given their current actions Atlantis would politely decline, but thanks for PM'ing me in advance......

In which case, you'd really rather be going closer to the coast of Africa, particularly with a ship in distress. If you're going to Britain, you'd have to detour approximately 400nm to get anywhere near Lyra.
Also, the prevailing sea currents would most probably carry any oil away from, rather than toward, the Atlantean coast. Obviously I can't declare that factually as there are no OTL charts of the ocean currents around Atlantis, but the prevailing Canary Current is running south.

You know, for that sort of thing, I bet Atlantis could use the Soviet Excuse that they used for the White Sea..."Historic Bay" or something. It's not like that would be a major sea passage for non-Atlantean commerce, with most merchants cutting between Atlantis and Africa.
