i like those ship i will only send some pics and why i like them.
i like those first 3 onese because they are not so huge (i liked medium-sizes cruiseships)
and ofcourse the qm2 just because she is so beautifull
maritiem
-
To be honest, I'm very fond of all my local tugs.
http://j-eyres.fotopic.net/c1256804.html - Great pictures of them there.
However, if forced to, my favourite is the Trafalgar. I was fortunate enough to see both her lauch, and her commissioning ceremony, both around 10 years ago now, and have been out on her about 15-20 times.

No, it's the Queen Mary 1 that is haunted. There are many ghosts that have been witnessed on the ship. Strangly enough they all appeared after it'd first trip to California. :-\

Bismark`s Keel was layed down at Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in july 1936 as part of plan Z which was the plan to re-equipment and expand the Kriegsmarine. She was launched in 1940 with Kapitän zur See Ernst Lindemann comanding her. Because the war started before Hitler thought it would, Plan Z was dismised because Germany needed to put there resources into invading poland and there Blitz warfare, so bismark was used as a commerce raider and plan Z was not carried out.

Ya, I am American, but I am not sure I can germanish ;D.
I ment the german word for "Ship" is spelled "Skiff" not the previosly stated "Shiff".
I think that since I have been saying over and over again, I know what I am saying ;). You don't think I would speak german impropperly, do you ;D? And *ahem, I was right ;D.
I do not say "ship" anymore. I only say shiff. Sorry, my German protocalls ;).
