danny · « **Reply #8980 on:** May 12, 2012, 14:45:01 »

Hm... She collided with a oilrig when the bridge was unmanned.

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #8981 on:** May 12, 2012, 19:04:36 »

danny · « **Reply #8982 on:** May 12, 2012, 19:13:26 »

Yep!

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #8983 on:** May 12, 2012, 19:17:51 »

ahh there are some idiots pilots these days

what ship had the Blue ribbon before Titanic had it and after?
(tip, it WAS NOT the titanic's sister's ship!!!!)

danny · « **Reply #8984 on:** May 12, 2012, 19:22:45 »

The Mauretania held the blue ribband from 1909 to 1929. The Titanic never received it, as she didn't complete a crossing.

When was the first "Girl of My Heart" built?
Bonus if you can find a picture ( I couldn't find one)

danny · « **Reply #8987 on:** May 12, 2012, 23:28:15 »

Can we have another clue?
Also, I'm asuming I didn't get CC's question right?

saltydog · « **Reply #8988 on:** May 12, 2012, 23:36:40 »

The real name of the ferry "Girl of my heart" is translated from the Manx language
You got CC's question right (which was a bit silly)

Time for bed: the answer is Ben-my-Chree, #1 built in 1845.. Curious if anyone can find a picture

Anyone to go..

This ship was rather famous in its heydays. Someone should make a movie about the adventures of this ship and its Captain. Can you name the ship and the higly popular Captain.

I have started the stop watch, and are ready for a clue in two hours

Torslunde · « **Reply #8993 on:** May 13, 2012, 08:58:12 »

In the start of WWI the light cruiser, named after a northwestern German seaport, operated as a raider with great sucess in the Far East and Indian Ocean.

With more than fifty allied warships searcing, it was the most hunted ship in the world.

Torslunde · « **Reply #8994 on:** May 13, 2012, 11:25:59 »

OK
SMS Emden and Korvettenkapitan Karl von Muller.
