She was built in Cowes, and was there for an emergence refitting.

It's pretty much all in the wiki article.

Well... mine then..

Name the unlucky ship that is seen on this photo.

Hint: Labrador

After a correct answer, one has 1 hour to post a new question..
After that, anyone can go..

On any ships from the days of steam ships to modern cruisers, what structures are on the bottom sides of the hull?

stabilizers

saltydog · « **Reply #5662 on:** January 26, 2010, 14:31:00 »

It is a form of stabilizers, known as a Bilge keel..

New one: which ship was this ? (launched 1903)

Ballast · « **Reply #5664 on:** January 26, 2010, 16:27:01 »

Kaiser Wilhelm II?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #5665 on:** January 26, 2010, 16:29:04 »

RMS Cedric?

Though that was launched in 1902, it says here..

looks like it though: http://www.wnccoins.com/SS%20Cedric%20Obv.jpg

But it's comparing a drawing with a drawing.. soo.. might not be 100% accurate.

* Edit - Our for a spot of dinner.. if it happens to be correct, anyone that wants, can have my turn!!!

'He' hadn't been told it was the correct answer yet, and it takes more than a few minutes anyway. Took you much much longer to respond to the question that was asked YOU, so why rush ME, when Stu, the one who actually asked the question, hand't even responded. Bit rude, I'd say.

So I'd appreciate it if you think first and post second.

Cheers!!

Fred.

RMS Baltic

RMS Baltic is correct..

Btw:Fred makes a good point, he hadn't even been given the green light yet

SS Duchess of York

saltydog · « **Reply #5673 on:** January 26, 2010, 21:20:52 »

My guess is the Duchess of Bedford.. (one of the "Drunken Duchesses")..

I have deleted my comment here as I am told that calling someone a tosser isn't allowed...

And no, it wasn't to you, Fred.
