HMS Pandora
Fate: Ran Aground at great barrier reef 1779

saltydog · « **Reply #8231 on:** November 23, 2010, 17:39:12 »

The ship is right.. Actually she ran aground on a reef between New Guinea and Australia in 1791..
Here's an interesting chronology : http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/Bounty/bountychronology.html

a hint for my pic:
its taken in rotterdam

That picture is not taken in Rotterdam, I am not able to see the Erasmus Bridge nor the guiding wires.
Also that building above the terminal would also be wrong

The Ferry King · « **Reply #8233 on:** November 23, 2010, 17:45:31 »

alright i will tell you te answer:
it was the Pieter Caland (1960-1999)
here is a pic to prove you and the website to prove you:

and the its both on the same website in the ferry section called in spido
http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Spido.html

sad no one got it though

The Ferry King · « **Reply #8234 on:** November 23, 2010, 17:48:01 »

and the translatin into dutch from the spido website:
Pieter Caland

Het voormalig vlaggenschip van Spido. Met een capaciteit van 300 personen, heeft deze voor de Spido gevaren vanaf 1960 tot juli 2000. Zij was 50.9 meter lang en had een capaciteit van 525 passagiers.

ok here is an easy one for all:

but one was the most famous and outstanding out of all of them with a high number of fatalities

what is this ship:

her previous names
fate:

and total number of fatalities
and cause of incident:

this must be answered in full sentences and a quote:
this will look like a paragrah
