A number of factors really. The main one-the bulbous bows are slightly different.

Hi Captain Mike,
Your picture is of one of British India S.S. Co. Ltd. cargo vessels but which one I could not say. I think she is passing under Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Then I congratulate you. I can't tell the difference.... But lets hope the Captains can, otherwise that will lead to some very interesting crossings

Erm...are they

I always identified the two by the P&O logo below the bridge on POH. If it doesn't have a P&O logo below the bridge, tis POR.

Angus

Good guess, she was the Chindwara

Try this one!

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #159 on:** March 22, 2009, 17:45:50 »

Don't know the name, but your first ship Angus?

Nathan|C · « **Reply #160 on:** March 22, 2009, 19:01:40 »

New Question!

What's the name of this ship?

matt5674 · « **Reply #161 on:** March 22, 2009, 19:43:37 »

You already asked that. A few replies ago.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #162 on:** March 22, 2009, 19:48:31 »

I see no question involving this ship in this topic?

matt5674 · « **Reply #163 on:** March 22, 2009, 19:49:37 »

The 190th reply on page 8

Nathan|C · « **Reply #164 on:** March 22, 2009, 19:50:26 »

Anybody with eyes who looks close enough can tell that this is a different ship. Norland wasn't the only ship painted blue you know

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #165 on:** March 22, 2009, 19:59:34 »

Pride of Burgundy

Although with that colour scheme, it is the P&OSL Burgundy, taken between 1998-2002

Nathan|C · « **Reply #166 on:** March 22, 2009, 20:01:47 »

Correct, you go.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #167 on:** March 22, 2009, 20:25:05 »

Hmm, firstly, It could also have been the PO Burgundy, since when P&O brought out Stena Line in 2002, the livery was the same until the next years refit.

Okay so...

What ship is this...

Clue 1:

Clue 2: It does take cars

Traddles · « **Reply #168 on:** March 22, 2009, 23:39:58 »

Hi Captain Mike,
Even I am not that old

. Not yet anyway

That steamer was built in 1860, to carry brandy from the Charente area of France to Liverpool. There are two clues in this statement, one as to her name and the other as to her owners.

Angus.

The ship was the Cognac, owned by Charente Steamship Co and Managed by Harrisons.

Go to the top of the class Mike. That is correct in every aspect. Although my father and I both sailed for that Company, even he was not around then, having joined the company in 1914.

Angus.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #171 on:** March 23, 2009, 00:16:50 »

What is the name of this ship? My father was 3rd Mate in her in 1932?

Traddles · « **Reply #172 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:41:16 »

Hi Captain Mike,
That one looks like the "Elstree Grange" of Houlder brothers. Built 1913 by Dixons of Glasgow.

Angus.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #173 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:55:09 »

Angus

Can't beat you!! Quite correct, and sunk by German bombers on 3 May 1941 in Canada Dock, Liverpool.

Mike

We are waiting for a question from Traddles, it's his turn
