But what has the roof of a building got to do with maritime?

saltydog · « **Reply #3727 on:** October 01, 2008, 10:23:29 »

I have a sneaky feeling it is a deck of a cruise ship..I'm sure Kona will let us know

New one: am I entering or leaving this port...?

Kona1988 · « **Reply #3728 on:** October 01, 2008, 10:25:06 »

Its not about the roof, lol. And people have asked non-nautical questions.

Well, suppose Ill tell you.

I wanted to make someone say a Cruise Ship. But, its a Hospital Atrium in Worcestor Massachusetts, Saint Vincet's to be exact. Yes, thats a hospital. If you were standing there, and being able to look around, youd think you were in a cruise ship, theres a waterful a little out of the picture, and another set of those elevators.

AHA! lol, thanks for the warning for a new post, I know see saltydog did what I wanted ^_^

Umm, leaving I think.

saltydog · « **Reply #3730 on:** October 01, 2008, 10:27:04 »

Very funny Kona, try to stick to the program in future..

And yes, here I am leaving San Fransisco..
You go again..

saltydog · « **Reply #3734 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:26:18 »

Not to keep up the suspense..It's the Fort Saint-Jean, at the entrance to the old harbour in Marseille..

OK, what is the yardnumber of the real Fairmount Sherpa?

saltydog · « **Reply #3736 on:** October 01, 2008, 13:33:06 »

I'm allways amazed someone knows the answer to these kind of questions..

Ballast · « **Reply #3737 on:** October 01, 2008, 13:42:28 »

Was it too hard?

I googled it and the answer was on the 2nd page that google showed. It was the website of Fairmount;
http://www.fairmount.nl/page.php?idObject=411

There you can see that she was buildt at the Niigata shipyard in Japan under yardnumber 003

Ballast · « **Reply #3747 on:** October 02, 2008, 16:22:14 »

Lol Jack

saltydog · « **Reply #3748 on:** October 03, 2008, 03:39:08 »

Yes, it's the "crows nest"..

Sailing ships would sometimes take a few crows with them, which they kept up there..
When they thought they were near land, but could not see it because of heavy fog, they would release one of the crows. The bird would fly directly to the nearest land, showing them the direction.
(hence the expression "as the crow flies".. )
Of course it was mainly used as a lookout point..
