Hi Patrick,
You are spot on, she is "Mercedes" and she is heading up the Mersey past the Pierhead, Liverpool en route to Albert Dock. I took it, (Ithink) 2 years ago. I'm surprised one of our Dutch members didn't spot her.
Your picture has me lost, by the twin bow thrusters and the high foc's'le I guess she is a rig supply ship, but beyond that, no idea.

Angus.

As it's over 2 hours and I won't be back on until tomorrow evening I'll put you out of your misery

The answer is "Salvageman" and her current name is "Anglian Prince" - she is not a supply ship but a full blown salvage tug.

Here is how she looked after the drydocking and the repainting to coastguard colours

With a lifting capacity of 5.000 ton, this will be the largest monohull heavy lift crane vessel in the world..
What is the name..?

saltydog · « **Reply #204 on:** March 26, 2009, 23:38:52 »

A matter of taste..
But you're right, it's the Oleg Strashnov..

saltydog · « **Reply #205 on:** March 27, 2009, 00:13:09 »

You must now post a new one "officially"..

saltydog · « **Reply #206 on:** March 27, 2009, 02:06:33 »

Here's one for the wee-small hours..

Which ship is this..? (and what's special about her..? )

saltydog · « **Reply #207 on:** March 27, 2009, 02:18:19 »

Back on form I see..

saltydog · « **Reply #208 on:** March 27, 2009, 03:52:03 »

You push too much for an answer..
By the way: you forgot to mention what makes the Royal Clipper special..

Traddles · « **Reply #209 on:** March 27, 2009, 13:14:25 »

As an educated guess, she is the biggest five masted, full rigged, ship now afloat. I should say also probably the ONLY one.

Right, she stands in the Guiness World Records book as the largest square-rigged ship in service..

the question was who built it and when so I'll give you 50% as well (when will folks learn to read the question

)

Builder was Friedr. Krupp Germaniawerft A.G. at Kiel.
