Title: mystery ship
Post by: barrown1990 on February 06, 2011, 13:47:41
in this game a ship  is described and the other peopple have to name the ship being described. to begin we start with a very easy one

which ship is being described.

-she had 4 funnels
-she had 2 sisterships, one lauched around the same timethe other in 1914
-one of these sisterships was scrapped in 1935, the other became the longest serving ocean liner of the 20th century, before being scrapped in the 50s
-the vessel in question sank during world war 1.

RMS Lusitania
Title: Re: mystery ship
Post by: VirtualSkipper on February 07, 2011, 08:17:07
RMS Lusitania

She was contructed in 1902, not around 1914 and she had only one sistership the Mauritania.  :P

Post by: saltydog on February 07, 2011, 08:37:40
I think the Lusitania is right..The third ship (RMS Aquitania) did have her maiden voyage  in 1914..
Title: Re: mystery ship
Post by: barrown1990 on February 07, 2011, 15:30:42
the correct anser is lusitania. her sisterships were mauritania, scrapped in 1935 and also aquitania which became the longest serving liner of the 20th century, being scrapped in the 1950s.

a new mystery ship will be on here soon

"a museum ship famous for sinking the scharnhorst"
Title: Re: mystery ship
Post by: VirtualSkipper on February 07, 2011, 20:40:16
I think that would be the HMS Belfast  :)

Btw, why not let the one who solved the mystery make a new mystery?
And if he didn't make one in like, 2-3 hours or so, anyone can go next.
Just an idea  ;)

That's why this picture became very familiar to me because I watched on YouTube that the ship was getting sunk to be an arctificial reef.
