Hi captb,
That's actually a pretty well known fact, indeed. Not wanting to burst your bubble, but it IS a real vessel, not even based off, it's got a real life counterpart.
Many ships in the game are real vessels. :thumbs:
And that's not the only one from Fairmount either, the Sherpa..., she has a load of sisters that are all pretty much the same, like the Summit, the Alpine, the Glacier, and Expedition.
Here's their own site: http://www.fairmount.nl/page.php?idObject=369 :thumbs:
Thanks for sharing though!!!
Kind Regards,
Fred

The video is Fairmount alpine ;)
-
wow its weird seeing it in REAL and not in ship simulator
-

There is also a ship called Pride of Rotterdam... I don't think it is a real ship though, but based on one called the 'Pride of Hull' ;)
EDIT: One recommendation for anyone who has not seen that youtube film... Try it with the sound turned off! (sorry CaptB)
-
There are also some young members who claim that Titanic was a real ship. They usually have “Titanic†in their names; so they have a vested interest in perpetuating that myth.
-
Titan..i...c...? :sleepy:
I HOPE it's real... It is my cure for insomnia, Marty. :D
-
Okay....
I guess everyone knows it exicts already?
-
sorry the music in the video is loud, I had the sound off at the time. ;D

Pride of Rotterdam isn't based off of the Pride of Hull. PoR and PoH are both real life ships, twins you could say.
-
I must say that when I woke up this morning & after playing with a some kind of a 4-funneled ship in Ship Simulator, I went to Google & just out of boredom typed "Titanic" (I think that's the right word)... I can't express the thing how I was surprised when I found out that there was a ship with the same name & which was totally based off that ship from SS I played this morning! :o

The failure to see the sarcasm..

That's just an excuse...
xD

Here are pictures of the Titanic, Fairmount Sherpa, and Pride of Rotterdam in real life, along with some other SS08 vessels in real life:

Most vessels, including Fairmount Sherpa, are real and others are based off real vessels, like Ocean Star to Carnival Legend.

When I first saw the name of this thread, I expected it to be something about FS crashing SS, written by a non English/American person :doh: Shows ya what forums are like these days ;D
Yes... There isn't really anything I can add to what's already been said...
-
The failure to see the sarcasm..
That is worrying... That is REALLY worrying. I don't think I could have been any more obviously sarcastic if I tried... :doh:
Poor old Firestar... I won't make *TOO* much fun out of him as I need his help later with a certain 3d modelling programme.

Sorry I don't understand British humor, I'm not British..

More sarcasm? :doh:

And who says you don't understand British humour?

Spike Milligan.

Spike Milligan.
He was quite funny, if you understand English humour.

or Irish...

Neither of which I have any background in...;D

I'd just like to point out that Freedom 90 is very much in existance...

-
Hi Samu. You are absolutely correct, although that has been quickly established in the first page of the topic.

You've seen all of them? You must've gone places..
-
Matt those are cool pictures. by the way, mates, I changed my username to Capt. Mcenzi ;D
-
Does it give you any advantages over other members who haven't seen some of those ships?
WM has a habit of removing his posts to embarrass those who reply.
You should always quote his entire post when you reply.
Like this.

Like this.
I really care, right?

Indeed, you care not a bit for the wishes or feelings of your fellow members.
But you will.

That's like asking him to post a picture of himself..the same day that happens is the same day Ballast eats his PC. ;D
Anyway, yes the Fairmount Sherpa exists, she's a nice ship too. Very big.

Not as big as a certain 4-funnelled, famous, pre-war liner.
-
@McG: Was that liner real by any chance? :doh: :D
lol :lol:
-
Indeed it was, young JD. Only made one trip if I remember correctly....
Now what was it's name? Began with a T, I'm sure of it...
-
Nah, I think it actually began with Z... Or was it A? Or P... Or... Ummm... J? :doh:
I'm sure it made more than one trip... It was the one that went from San Fransisco to Wellington in a week, wasn't it? :doh:
-
No, I think it hit one of my ice cubes, terrible shame and all that. Sank, you know...
AHA! It was called Tita... No, I've forgotten...
-
No I think you will find the vessel in SS with 4 funnels is actually a myth, like the Ark...
-
Well, of course, my dear man, the fourth funnel was actually a ventilator, What, What!
-
I never know that the Arie Visser was driven by two waterjets.
-
Yeah, she is!
You'd think that she'd be powered by props, or even stern drives.
-

Yes, she is. So is the Marbella Delight. ;)

Unusual form of propulsion for a boat like that, normally they're dual prop
