Same rules as in SSTP, but this quiz is about ships..
- a question stays for 2 hours..If after this time no correct answer is given, anyone can go next
- essentially, the questioneer determines if an answer is correct, and gives the "go-ahead" (green light)
- after the "green light", a new question is posted within 2 hours..If not, anyone can go next..
What is the name of this hydrofoil ship..?
-
It's Chayka, anyone to go next.. :)
-
Anything to keep us happy.. ;D
(of course you remain welcome on TP)...
-
What do you think of the name of this topic..?
If you have a better one I'ld be glad to hear it.. :)
-
Try a new name. Like world trivial pursuit or non ship sim trivial pursuit.
-
Boatz because of Boat quiz...
-
So you use the Z to make yourself look gangsta?
-
I hardly think of myself as "gangsta", the z comes from quiz..
-
Let's just get on with this game first, if anyone comes up with a good idea we'll hear about it.. :)
-
Rate topics are not relevant..Let's give this a go..
Which cruise ship is this..?
edit: I look like a real burk, what with Wave Music removing all his posts.. :)
-
Hurtigruten Polarlys!?
-
Alright, it has been two hours. Here is my question (I have scribbled the name off the hull) What ship is this.
-
off, hard one...
-
I never seen it since I live in Louisville Kentucky.
-
Alright, it has been two hours, here was the answer (I edited this btw) She sank in 2007 off of an island in Antarctica.
-
oh. an ice breaker or a cruiser or something
-
Ah, the "Little Red Ship".. Too bad what happened to her..
Btw, the answer to mine was Hurtigrutens "Kong Harald"..
Anyone to go next I guess.. :)
ps: as most questions will be about ships, I have re-named the topic..
-
What's the name of this North Sea Ferry ;)
-
Is it the Norwind..? :)
-
It's actually her sister Norwave, but that doesn't matter :evil:
Your turn :)
-
What's the name of this North Sea Ferry ;)
North Sea Ferries Norwave
-
It's actually her sister Norwave, but that doesn't matter :evil:
Your turn :)
watt the purpose of the game if you not want the right name????????????
-
It's her sister, how on earth would you tell them apart? I'd just have to accept either, unless there was some significant differences that distinguished the two.
-
You were right TJK, fair is fair..
Your go.. :)
-
It's her sister, how on earth would you tell them apart? I'd just have to accept either, unless there was some significant differences that distinguished the two.
well i seek on the nett and find the right one, if you see those two ships side by side nearly similar but a little different but same for me
-
You were right TJK, fair is fair..
Your go.. :)
Thanks but no problems, you turn, so go ahead Saltydog ;)
-
Ok, which ship is this..?
-
Oriental Rio
-
We're on the same page.. ;D
Your go..
-
What's the name of this Ex Stena Line ship?
-
At La Paz..it's safe to say you're right Diamant..
Your go..
-
Must of been hit by a tsunami. And Don't know where it happpend.
-
Time for a new one: which shipyard built this yacht..?
-
That's right.. :)
-
I checked the Wikipedia for the Giovanna. Only people. I'll try again. Nope. Don't exists there.
-
You can't be serious about that second link (there) Do you expect us to read Russian..?
The first link I had seen before, but it had no further information..
Please ask questions we can answer..
-
Originally built in 1906 as the Reserve Sonderburg in Bremen, later converted into a 3 masted barque and relaunched in 1988 as the Alexander von Humboldt.. :)
-
As mentioned: the z comes from quiz.. Better not exagerate it.. ;)
-
I'm off to watch the skating, anyone to go next.. :)
-
Alright what ship won the very first Blue Riband in 1838?
-
It's her sister, how on earth would you tell them apart? I'd just have to accept either, unless there was some significant differences that distinguished the two.
No physical differences on those two that I'm aware of.
-
congrats, (you are in a race for posts..? ) ???
-
I want to overtake you in your games lol :lol:
Very well Diamant, your go. Nice paste from wikipedia.
-
Why are you going to discuss "Boatz"!? You are not small kids!? Thinks it's great that you put up these topics so that we who are members here can do something extra than just post selvskryt of 3D models and errors in the game. This makes life and good environment. Let this thread live and try and respond to what the picture is of, it is what makes it fun! :)
This tanker, I can not name! All are generally the same! ;D
-
He did change the name to Shipz, if you didn't see.
-
The Keldysh. It is the ship that did some searches on the Titanic with is submersibles, Mir 1, and Mir 2. Keldysh is in The 1997 movie "TITANIC."
-
I think in its home country. I forgot the city and country. The reason I knew it was Keldysh was when you said:
Somehow in very far & complicated way she could be related to SS & many other things
And when I saw the Shape of her, I figured it with the Keldysh in TITANIC.
-
This is ship comparison.
Compare the Titanic to the Lusitania and contrast Titanic to Mauretania. And Tell which of the following was in WWI colors:
Olympic
Pride of Rotterdam
Titanic
Empress of Ireland
Lusitania
Mauretania
Britannic
Aquitania
-
What's the name of this ship..? ;)
-
Indeed there, it should be here..Your go..
-
Asian Hercules II...?
-
So that's a yes..

Here's a nice picture of an Asian Hercules placing the Gateshead Millenium Bridge.. :)

Here are some links for the AH II..

Time for a new question then?
I have a great one ready..............

Why not? go ahead.. ;D
-
Name of this famous pre WW2 passenger liner?
-
very welcome.. :angel:
-
Name of this famous pre WW2 passenger liner?
the SS Mashobra..(not too hard with her name showing.. ;D
-
Didn't see it!!
-
Which ship is this..?
-
No idea, give us a clue!!
-
It's the US Navy's oldest, and most unusual, research vessel...
-
That looks like the Scripps ship Flip.
She was built here in Oregon by Gunderson.
Nice thing about her is that you don’t get seasick on her—after that first wild maneuver.

There's a movie here too:

-
What research vessel lies at the bottom of Papeete harbor?
-
Maybe Marty could, it's a tough one..
Been searching in Papeete, couldn't find the sunken vessel..
-
I've even been studying James Cook's travels..Think I'll sit this one out.. :)
-
Green light for a new one.. (nobody's gonna get Papeete..)
-
Gentlemen,
HMS Bounty is at the bottom of Bounty Bay, Pitcairn Island.
Do you want me to put this to rest, or do you want more time?
Hint: She is a much older cousin to FLIP.
-
Ha! Strange, in the book it says that they had burned her there.
That’s why she is on the bottom. They have raised one of her iron anchors—I saw it in their little museum on the Island. It is also featured on one of their postage stamps.
The wooden sailing ship FW Scripps burned and sank in Papeete harbor, Tahiti.
I can’t tell which shearlegs that is. Probanly one of Smit's
-
1961
Here’s a trivia question to think about: On what Pacific Island do you find the Flying Fox?
-
That could be Citadel Island..
-
On what Pacific Island do you find the Flying Fox?
I trust you mean a ship..Methinks a hint is in order..
-
As no hint is forthcoming, anyone to go next.. :)
-
I suppose so, your go.. ;D
-
I trust you mean a ship..Methinks a hint is in order..
It’s not a ship.
-
Ah, that's the Samson floating sheerleg.
An easy one: what's the name of this tug boat...(Cough) tour boat? In which harbour she can be found?
Theodore Tugboat. What harbor? I think that one not too far down Sesame Street. :lol: ;D :D :lol:
-
Ah, that's the Samson floating sheerleg.

It's the Little Tug that Could.. :D
-
It's the Little Tug that Could.. :D
I think you are confusing Little Toot with the Little Engine That Could. This is not the Trainz forum.
I gave up on Trainz ‘cause I got tired of searching the Download Station in vain for a Mickey & Minnie handcar.
-
A simple one to kick things off: what is the name of this yacht..?
-
I won't be repeating many questions, but this yacht is too nice not to add here.. :)
Your go..
-
A total of 4 under the names;
Anne Sofie
Regine
Trina
Frauke

I also thought it was showing, but couldn't find that ship... ;D
-That Imageshack link gives me a red warning, maybe better not stay there..
Let's move on to another one..
-
Which ship is this..?
-
The best looking ship the Dutch ever had and still have! ;D
I leave the question open for someone else :)
-
Yes, a beautifull ship..
Your go..
-
mv Jumbo Challenger
-
Could be mv Fairmast, they are both the same
-
And how can you prove that it's Fairmast & not the Jumbo Challenger?
Fairmast has an extra "small" crane midship on deck... :sleepy:
-
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3551/3363115663_f1b71b54b0.jpg)

Some pictures of a little accident with the Jumbo Challenger..
One of the cranes gave way and the load (part of a petroleum reactor) was dropped..

Close enough, but only the ship's name & IMO number are wrong ;)
Blue Giant, ex Combi Dock II 9400485

I wonder if Ballast could answer it. ::)

A clue - passenger liner
WELL DONE FIRESTAR!!!

Not strange at all, we hit the post at the same time??
Anyway, don't distract Firestar he is trying to get this back on topic by thinking of a new puzzler.....................................

It is still anyone's guess.

What's the name of this ship?
Trollfjord?

Wrong, but close enough
Must be Midnatsol then? I can't tell the two apart.

Hopefully not too obscure... so which vessel, out of which port, and what is going on here?

New Question
What's the ex name of this ferry and what is she special for?

Okay so...
What ship is this...
(http://i39.tinypic.com/fnuvzk.jpg)

Tough to identify her just by her rear end.. ;)
Do you have one in profile..?

Of course but it would be too easy then...she has quite a unique profile...
Clue: She is a catamaran...

A Red Jet is what it is.

How, prey tell, did you know that?

How, prey tell, did you know that?
A number of factors really. The main one-the bulbous bows are slightly different.
-
Hi Captain Mike,
Your picture is of one of British India S.S. Co. Ltd. cargo vessels but which one I could not say. I think she is passing under Sydney Harbour Bridge.
-
A number of factors really. The main one-the bulbous bows are slightly different.
Then I congratulate you. I can't tell the difference.... But lets hope the Captains can, otherwise that will lead to some very interesting crossings ;D

Erm...are they ???
I always identified the two by the P&O logo below the bridge on POH. If it doesn't have a P&O logo below the bridge, tis POR.

Good guess, she was the Chindwara

Try this one!

Don't know the name, but your first ship Angus?
-
New Question!
What's the name of this ship?
-
You already asked that. A few replies ago.
-
I see no question involving this ship in this topic?
-
The 190th reply on page 8
-
Anybody with eyes who looks close enough can tell that this is a different ship. Norland wasn't the only ship painted blue you know ;)
-
Pride of Burgundy
Although with that colour scheme, it is the P&OSL Burgundy, taken between 1998-2002
-
Correct, you go.
-
Hmm, firstly, It could also have been the PO Burgundy, since when P&O brought out Stena Line in 2002, the livery was the same until the next years refit.
Okay so...
What ship is this...

Hi Captain Mike,
Even I am not that old :o. Not yet anyway :-[ That steamer was built in 1860, to carry brandy from the Charente area of France to Liverpool. There are two clues in this statement, one as to her name and the other as to her owners. :evil:

The ship was the Cognac, owned by Charente Steamship Co and Managed by Harrisons.
-
Go to the top of the class Mike. That is correct in every aspect. Although my father and I both sailed for that Company, even he was not around then, having joined the company in 1914.
Angus.
-
What is the name of this ship? My father was 3rd Mate in her in 1932?
-
Hi Captain Mike,
That one looks like the "Elstree Grange" of Houlder brothers. Built 1913 by Dixons of Glasgow.
Angus.

Angus
Can't beat you!! Quite correct, and sunk by German bombers on 3 May 1941 in Canada Dock, Liverpool.

Inanda, built in Aberdeen, for John T. Rennie?

http://www.timetableimages.com/maritime/images/harris33.jpg
-
Nah, I was almost close to that!
I claim no credit; your guesses encouraged me to take a closer look at the stern :thumbs:, and Google did the rest.
Edit: as it turns out, no credit to claim anyway ;)
-
Hi kuusuru,
She was actually built by Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson at Wallsend on Tyne in 1925, for the Charente Steamship Company, but using a Rennie Line name. The one you mention was an earlier ship which did belong to the Rennie Line, that Company was later taken over by the Harrison Line. (Charente Steamship Company) Thanks Fred for your input, which IS of the correct ship.
-
Ah I see the text part of my reply got lost when I posted the link into it.... I googled for Inanda (decyphered from the picture), and that's the picture that rolled out on top. ;D
Does that mean it's my go? Or kuusuuru for getting the name right?

...and think about the actor Klaus Kinski, who has made such a channel/track popular around the world in one of his movies. Well, he was a real crazy guy... ::)
-
Yep.. :)
-
Which ship is this..? (and what was she before..? ;)
-
Hi saltydog,
That is the Greenpeace vessel "Esperanza" which I understand will be part of SS2010
-
Quite right Traddles, I can't wait ..
She was the "Echo Fighter", a fire-fighting vessel in the Russian Navy..
Your go.. :)
-
I just found her former name on the Greenpeace website, but you beat me to it. ;) I have no pics handy at the moment so I'll leave it to someone else.
The picture of Klaus Kinski above reminds me of some time ago watching that film on TV which my daughter had recommended. I believe it was titled "Fitzcarraldo" The steamer was manhauled over the hill from one river to another.
-
Right again.. :)
New one: this ship ran slightly aground on December 4, 2008..Where exactly..?
-
The Antarctic continent???????
-
Wilhelmina Bay in Antarctica, the ship is the MV Ushuaia..
You better have a new one.. (you have 2 hours max to think of one, you know..;)
-
Sorry saltydog, it's bedtime for old folks like me, goodnight. :sleepy: :sleepy:

No comment required!!
What is the name of this tanker, and which company operated her when she was new?

Hercules? (1907)

oi salty! where's the photo gone? ::)
Haven't got a clue about yours, Mike.. :-\
-
Mike,
I thought it was one of Eagle Oil's ships at first but the funnel marking is the wrong shape. It does look a bit like a bird of some kind. I'm no good on tankers, so like Fred, I'm stumped.
Here's one which shouldn't be too hard for some of our members. ;D

http://dbirch.smugmug.com/photos/214060025-O.jpg
oi salty! where's the photo gone? ::)
Haven't got a clue about yours, Mike.. :-\
Sorry for that Fred..I was all of a sudden feeling sleepy, so I withdrew it to let Capt.Mike's question ride a bit longer..
Anyway, you were right; it was the Hercules.. ;D
-
Mike,
I thought it was one of Eagle Oil's ships at first but the funnel marking is the wrong shape. It does look a bit like a bird of some kind. I'm no good on tankers, so like Fred, I'm stumped.
Here's one which shouldn't be too hard for some of our members. ;D
with help from Google (as I don't have her in my collection) it is the Dutch flagged "Mercedes" and it looks like she's on the Mersey.
Patrick
And this one was originally?? Bonus point for is now...
-
Hi Patrick,
You are spot on, she is "Mercedes" and she is heading up the Mersey past the Pierhead, Liverpool en route to Albert Dock. I took it, (Ithink) 2 years ago. I'm surprised one of our Dutch members didn't spot her.
Your picture has me lost, by the twin bow thrusters and the high foc's'le I guess she is a rig supply ship, but beyond that, no idea.
Angus.
-
Patrick
Got me too. Not much to go on there!
Mike
-
As it's over 2 hours and I won't be back on until tomorrow evening I'll put you out of your misery :lol:
The answer is "Salvageman" and her current name is "Anglian Prince" - she is not a supply ship but a full blown salvage tug.
Here is how she looked after the drydocking and the repainting to coastguard colours
-
With a lifting capacity of 5.000 ton, this will be the largest monohull heavy lift crane vessel in the world..
What is the name..?
-
A matter of taste..
But you're right, it's the Oleg Strashnov..
-
You must now post a new one "officially"..
-
Here's one for the wee-small hours..
Which ship is this..? (and what's special about her..? )
-
Back on form I see.. :)
-
You push too much for an answer..
By the way: you forgot to mention what makes the Royal Clipper special..
-
As an educated guess, she is the biggest five masted, full rigged, ship now afloat. I should say also probably the ONLY one. ;D
-
This will keep you busy:
What's the name & year of built of this ship?
MV "Thule", 1996 Bodewes Scheepswerf Volharding Foxhol BV, Netherlands
-
That's right. Seems like you're a shipspotting expert - always answering the hard ones. :)
;D you could say that, been a ship photographer since 1982!
Ok, heres one that could be easy.... if you know your ships!
Name please - and when she was built
-
M/V Pholas
-
M/V Pholas
50% right.....

Looks like it's your photo there, QS...
Certainly is ;D - the link under it is out of date though as I haven't had that ISP account for quite some years but just followed and it and it's still alive! 8)

Okay, a fairly easy one,

Brittany Ferries "Normandie".
-
Correct. :thumbs:
Your go
-
Let's make this one a challenge!! ;D
Name the builder and year of build of this cruise ship
-
Argonaut
Argonaut was previously the yacht Orion, built in 1929. She later sailed as Regina Maris before being scrapped in 2003.
-
As an educated guess, she is the biggest five masted, full rigged, ship now afloat. I should say also probably the ONLY one. ;D
Right, she stands in the Guiness World Records book as the largest square-rigged ship in service.. :)
-
Argonaut
Argonaut was previously the yacht Orion, built in 1929. She later sailed as Regina Maris before being scrapped in 2003.
the question was who built it and when so I'll give you 50% as well (when will folks learn to read the question ::) ;D )
Builder was Friedr. Krupp Germaniawerft A.G. at Kiel.
-
What's the name of this little beauty?
-
Pegasus
-
Easy one eh?
Your turn
-
Not really, It's just I recognised her as the Wasa Queen from her double funnels, it wasn't her, so I checked her sisters, and there she was as Pegasus...
Okay, so here is my infamous catamaran...
(http://i39.tinypic.com/fnuvzk.jpg)
Edit: Second Picture:

-
8) There! (http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=776097) 8)
What's your user name there Diamant?
-
It was a nightmare to browse 600 pages of HSV on Shipspotting till I found your picture there & you also! ;)
Ok, this will keep you busy, Ferry Man: a random picked picture of ferry from there - what's her name?
You can't complain, I am currently on page 1,2 and 3 of the High-Speed section 8)...
Anyway, looked through a lot of pictures (440 - I worked backwards), and found:
Lauparen
-
Okay, so...
What is the name of this Cruise Ship...
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2cpcgm0.jpg)
-
Balmoral
-
Correct again. :thumbs:
Your go.
-
What is the present name of this ship, and the name when the photo was taken in Jan 2000?
-
It is one of two ships, either the Ocean Princess, now Oceana,
or
The Sea Princess, then the Adonia, back to the Sea Princess...
I'll go with Ocean Princess/Oceana.
-
Correct
-
Okay, so what is the name of this Cross-Solent Hovercraft:
(http://i41.tinypic.com/301zrlu.jpg)
-
I'd say that's the Solent Express.
-
Correct. :thumbs:
Your go.
-
What was the name of this cruise ship when aground and what were her previous names?
-
Sky Wonder running aground on a sandbar in the Rio Plata, 3 km from Buenos Aires..January 18 2007
Former names: Fair Sky, Pacific Sky, Sky Princess..
-
Correct
-
What is the name of this Hovercraft..?
-
The Princess Margaret
-
That's correct..
-
Okay, so,
what ferry is this I have drawn...
(http://i44.tinypic.com/15mjyts.jpg)
-
Could it be the MS Mariella..?
-
Could it be the MS Mariella..?
Not quite. Very close
take note of the livery...
Diamant:
Thanks,
I can get the models top nearly done, but I'm not very good with the hull or masts. I have never thought about starting a thread about them, though...
-
Last guess: Pride of Bilbao..
-
Yep. That is right. :thumbs:
Your go.
-
This new cruise ship will be christened in a week (April 4..)
What is her name, and where will this take place..?
-
AIDAluna starts her maiden voyage from Hamburg to Palma de Majorca, where the ship will be christened by top model Franziska Knuppe on 4 April
-
Sorry for the delay..You were absolutely right, Mike.. :thumbs:
-
Vargøy?
-
Only a little...? :lol:
Varangerfjord
-
What is the differnce between wrong a little and wrong a lot...? :-[
-
Renøy
-
There are to many red striped catamaran ending in nøy on ShipSpotting >:(
-
Give up, my turn then???
-
He has got until the cricket finishes then I am going!
-
I will find it, but you can go CaptainMike1
-
That's a lot of help as you can't sort by 5 letter names and there are 5984 to check????
-
Well, I have looked through 440 pictures (44 pages) so far...
-
Only another 555 pages to go!!
-
I was going by the name and livery...
I'm on page 61 now...
-
I hope to find it before I go to sleep...
Page 92...Is it much further...?
-
Thanks...
:evil:
(Page 112)
-
Does this imply I am a long way off...
pg 118
-
I have found it!
but not on ShipSpotting!
"Mårøy"
http://www.ship-world.de/verschiedenes/norwegen/maroy.jpg
whilst look through the pictures,
I searched for Vargøy on Google
and found a link, which had list of Norewgian ships, and she was there.
So I searched through 1220 images, to find her on a different site
-
Page 561!
I would have been up all night!
Where did you orginally find the craft then? Since that picture isn't on ShipSpotting...?
I am worn out by all that searching.
See you all tomorrow
:sleepy:
-
The Ferries I only know are Red Eagle, Red Osprey, Red Falcon, Red Jets 1-4, Pride of Rotterdam, and Pride of Hull. So I can't answer questions of ships I Don't know.
-
2 hour rule, new question.
What is this vessel? And what is happening?
-
That is the Cowes chain ferry, but not sure what is happening.
-
Well done Nathan, it is, she was actually picking up a Cowes pilot on her way back from refit in Southampton!!
Your turn.
Mike
-
What's the name of this freighter* and where was it built?
*It has a sister but this one is British flagged, so you can tell the difference.
-
What's the name of this freighter* and where was it built?
*It has a sister but this one is British flagged, so you can tell the difference.
That would make it "Norbay" and Van der Giessen-de Noord B.V. at Krimpen a/d Ijssel.
Patrick
Harder one - name this ship and explain why she was sailing on this service from Hull.
-
That's Viking Lines "Viking 6" on charter to cover for the Norland, which had been sent to the Falklands war. She was later replaced by the Irish Ferries "Saint Patrick (2?)".
-
That's Viking Lines "Viking 6" on charter to cover for the Norland, which had been sent to the Falklands war. She was later replaced by the Irish Ferries "Saint Patrick (2?)".
Absolutely correct! :) (was "Saint Patrick II" )
-
Thanks go to IRI5HJ4CK for sending me this book which contained the answer http://www.ferrypubs.co.uk/shop/product.asp?cookiecheck=yes&numRecordPosition=6&P_ID=204&strPageHistory=&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=91 ;D
Ok, new Question.
What was the name of this ship, at launch?
IMO Number - 7358327
-
Correct, your turn.

Ferryman
The Princess Cruise ship behind is docked in Skagway Alaska
Mike
-
Alaska State Ferry, Fairweather - see attached:
-
Well, Mike, looks like you've found that photo...
Indeed, Diamond Princess at the background in Skagway...
Probably, your turn then.
OK, what is the name of this famous liner, her 3 previous names and her 2 subsequent ones?
-
OK, what is the name of this famous liner, her 3 previous names and her 2 subsequent ones?
Is that the Empress of Ireland?
-
She is certainly Canadian Pacific S.S.Co. you can see it from her house flag at the main masthead.
-
Nice Avatar Traddles.
Clue: Mont?????
-
Wrong
Question is still open
-
Hi Mike, could she be "Montlaurier" or "Montrose"?
-
Hi Mike, could she be "Montlaurier" or "Montrose"?
Angus.
Yes she was the Montlaurier, but that is only part of the question!!!
Mike
-
OK Mike,
First name "Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm" handed into UK owner ship as War reparation. Renamed "Empress of China", then "Empress of India". Later names "Monteith" and then "Montnairn".
Cor, what a history. :o
-
Well done Angus. Better than another ferry question eh? Your go....
-
This never stops. ::) A fairly easy one, my fathers last command in 1963.
-
This never stops. ::) A fairly easy one, my fathers last command in 1963.
Hmmm - suspect Harrison's and name seems to start "Cha.." so i'll guess "Chartsman"
-
Harrison Line is of course correct, but they never had a ship called "Chartsman", sorry. :evil:
-
"C.F.S. Monteanuliot" or something like that is written on the photo...
Ferry Man, where are you? What's the name of this train ferry?
I am here!
I have been out today, on a... guess what... Ferry!
With the nice weather decided to pop over... I apologise for my Non-hereness from last night, I was starting designing a mission with the Ocean Star.
I am currently looking for your train ferry though :)
The Ferry Man
-
Harrison Line is of course correct, but they never had a ship called "Chartsman", sorry. :evil:
All a bit before my time :) - maybe the "H" is an "R" so let's try "Craftsman".
That's me off now for a few days in Northern Holland, sailing on "Pride of Rotterdam" from Hull tomorrow evening, see you all on Sunday folks :)
-
Which cruise ship is this..?
Hint: she was the first of several ships in a popular (German) tv-serie.. ;)
-
I know it ain't Queen Elizabeth 2. But a different ship
-
Couldn't find mine eh..? ;D
-
Which cruise ship is this..?
Hint: she was the first of several ships in a popular (German) tv-serie.. ;)
Vistafjord
Couldn't find mine eh..? ;D
Diamant prefers his own, unanswerable questions!!
-
Correct Mike, the first ship in "Das Traumschiff"..The German version of the Love Boat..
Diamant's question still rides for a small hour..
-
Anyone to go next..
A slight change in rule: you can't question twice in a row.. :)
-
What is the name of this ferry..?
-
Hi saltydog,
The "Vistafjord" was chartered by British Leyland to present the Metro car to their dealers. She came into Gladstone dock in Liverpool and I watched them loading a number of cars, all wrapped up in sheets so that one could not see them. She then sailed out into the Irish sea for a day for the presentation. I was a lecturer at the radar school at the time, just beside where she was moored.
Angus.
BTW the ship I posted last was indeed the S.S."Craftsman".
-
Thanks for that Traddles, she looks like she was a very nice ship..
I bet you enjoyed that moment.. :)
-
I think the fast ferry at Martha's Vinyard is the "Millennium" or the "Seastreak".
-
You got it right first time..it's the Millennium.. :)
Your go...
-
I understood that Saltydog started this thread on the SS Forum for the benefit of all members and not just a few!!
:thumbs: :captain: :police:
-
Right, new question.
What happened here?
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/549/europeanendeavour.jpg) (http://img4.imageshack.us/my.php?image=europeanendeavour.jpg)
(And yep, she is touching that pier...)
-
Didn't her mooring lines snap, and she went downstream with the tide? And then she hit the wall which had the VTS center just in front?
Jack ;D
-
I'm thinking you remember that from when I told you about 20 seconds ago.
Yep, European Endeavour was caught in bad weather, broke from her moorings, scraped along the pier in Dovers eastern docks then rammed head first into the VTS centre before a tug came to the rescue.
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/286/europeanendeavour023.jpg) (http://img4.imageshack.us/my.php?image=europeanendeavour023.jpg)
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2656/europeanendeavour069.jpg) (http://img4.imageshack.us/my.php?image=europeanendeavour069.jpg)
-
I hope they fix whatever broke on her
-
That incident was some time ago now, and she is back in service. =
However, they still haven't fixed the Calais Berth where the endeavour decided to do a 'Aquitaine' later on! She was berthed in Calais and was just about to depart, when she had engine problems and hit the berth. Coincidentally, it was the same berth (Calais 7) which the Aquitaine hit a few years back. Well this incident happened August 29th 2008. I was over in Calais on Tuesday, and low and behold...
(http://i43.tinypic.com/2sbnce1.jpg)
(http://i42.tinypic.com/30ug7lg.jpg)
-
Calais 7 was replaced by Calais 6 or is C7 closed for good, or something.
-
My guess would be they're dredging and the forces involved in the scooping of the mud are powerfull enough to pull the barge partially under?
Hmm..on the other hand.. could be sinking.. this isn't exactly the dredging type of crane.. is it? :-\
-
edited my last post.. sinking? :P
-
Possibly allready partly sunk and deserted, in trying to retrieve a broken off spud of dredger Aquarius in the Sethusamudram project..
Dredger damage delays Sethusamudram project
News - February 1, 2007
LR-Fairplay reports that work on India’s US$435 million flagship Sethusamudram Ship Canal Project has stalled after a dredger was damaged.
"Worse, a floating crane sent to retrieve the spud that broke off cutter suction dredger Aquarius last week, while the vessel was trying to cut through the 29km Adams Bridge in the Palk Strait, has also broken and part sunk, according to officials involved in the project," said the report.
A second and larger 200-tonne capacity crane is being deployed from Vishakapatnam to retrieve both the sunken crane and the spud. But the project will be delayed by at least two weeks – and that could be optimistic, depending on how long it takes to repair the dredger.
-
For some reason the original article wouldn't copy, it kept skipping to the latest news..
Not to worry, I have copied it another way (see edit..)
-
Then I was wrong, and you have allready answered your own question.. :)
Anyone to go next..
-
Ok, which grand ocean liner is this..?
-
SS Normandie, I reckon..
-
Yep, an easy one.. ;)
-
Yeah, it was.. ;D
How about this one:
-
A bit harder than mine.. ;D
My guess is the Royal yacht "Victoria & Albert"...
-
Indeed it is!! :thumbs:
-
That was a nice one.. ;)
Think I'll skip my turn, feeling a bit sleepy..Anyone to go..
-

Just the question in play, if you don't mind.. :)
-
Just the question in play, if you don't mind.. :)

I think you are quite correct, your new question was fairly asked under the 2 hour rule.
Mike
-
Thanks Mike, though my question is long overdue..
If anyone has a good new one, go ahead.. :)
-
Which ex P&O Ferry is this?

-
Yep! :thumbs:

Which ship is this..?
( hint: she was originally built for Cunard as a cargo-passenger liner in 1947...)
-
Media for Cunard
-
Close, but what is her name in the picture..?

-
I was on the ipod before, not so easy to search:

No idea, just a guess:
Windsor Castle?
-
Looks like the "MV Pointless Question loose the sarcasm" to me.
-
Thanks,
What was the name of the shipwreck the "Pride of Canterbury" hit last year?
-
Sorry for the late reply,
That's correct. After being laid up for over a year, the Pride of Canterbury went back into service last month.
Your turn.

Haven't got time to answer as I am waiting to connect to a VStep server!!!!!
-
Viking XPRS

;D
OK, how many of the Free Enterprise ships were converted to Double Deck Loading (Jumboised)...
?
(The Pride of Canterybury also looks great after her year out, http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=867323)
-
No, that is just the website. ;)
There isn't a P&O on the the upper superstructure any more, just the large one on the hull...
-
Most of the ships have had "POferries.com" written on the side for a while now. But indeed, she looks fantastic and it's great that the ferry is back. (Nice picture ferryman, you can see mine here http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=848467 )
And I think the answer is 4?
-
Nope, not four,
Diamant: I am sure your pictures are really nice.
-
See, they are some nice pictures... :thumbs:

Seems like I owe you an apology, Diamant..Your question wasn't so impossible after all, found it straight away..

Paddle steamer Golden Eagle

Paddle steamer Golden Eagle
No Tore, sorry wrong ship.
Diamant is very good at asking ferry questions so no doubt he will guess it!!
-
Could be "Clearmount"? (don't know how to pronounce that first steamer well)
No, please read the hint above, the last letter in the name is 'n'
-
A good thing there are children on this forum or I would be rude.
WRONG
-
Could it be "Diamant"? ???
Please refer to my previous reply. Your answers could be considered spamming. Terry will take a photo of you when he sails by the Hovercraft Museum.
-
How about the "Shanklin" of 1924??
-
No Tore, sorry wrong ship.
Diamant is very good at asking ferry questions so no doubt he will guess it!!

(http://i39.tinypic.com/116qkpx.jpg)
(http://i41.tinypic.com/55066x.jpg)
-
The answer to the first part of your question is Berge Nord from Norway..
-
The first answer to your question is Berge Nord from Norway..
close but no, it's a norwegian ship yes and berge is corect but wrong ship
-

-
Thats the Berge Stahl isn't it?/Jahre Viking?
Jack :captain: :lol:
thuse one of them one are right
-
Sorry, I got mixed up, I mean Berge Stahl (Got mixed up between them!, thought the two were the same ship as Jahre Viking was re-named many times).
Jack.
-
Sorry, I got mixed up, I mean Berge Stahl (Got mixed up between them!, thought the two were the same ship as Jahre Viking was re-named many times).
Jack.
Well the sister ships i most have answer on that to so i will not say yet
-
Jack your corect on question 1 its Berge Stal
Number 2 i will give the ansver now, strange how quick forget.
If i sey the ships name Berge Istra and Berge Vange i think meny remember,
but watt happened with them.
The loss of the Berge Istra
The MS Berge Istra was a ship owned by Norwegian shipping company Sig. Bergesen d.y. and registered in Liberia, an ore-bulk-oil carrier with 227,550 metric tons of deadweight (DWT). The ship had build number 296 at the Uljanik shipyard in the port city Pula in Croatia where it was built in 1972.
The ship was on route from Tubarão in Brazil to Japan with iron ore when contact was lost with the vessel in the Pacific (near the island Mindanao, Philippines) on December 30, 1975. After one week, on January 7, 1976, the ship was reported missing, but the ensuing search operation yielded no results and was called off on January 10 of that year. 30 people lost their lives. There were two survivors, Spanish citizens Imeldo Barreto Leon (41) and Epifanio Lopez (39), who were picked up from a raft on January 20, 1976 by Japanese fishermen.
To this day, 30 years later, the shipping company maintains secrecy with regards to the cause of the accident. The most prominent theory holds that the cause could have been explosions caused by oil residue in the cargo compartments that were filled with iron ore. MS Berge Istra was, like its sister ship MS Berge Vanga which disappeared under similar circumstances four years later, a ship which could transport both oil and iron ore. After these two disappearances no more combination ships like this were built, and oil was never again transported alongside ore.
The loss of the Berge Vanga, four years later, was remarkably similar:
The MS Berge Vanga was an ore-bulk-oil carrier with 227,912 metric tons of deadweight (DWT). The ship was owned by Norwegian shipping company Sig. Bergesen d.y. and registered in Liberia. The ship had build number 300 at the Uljanik shipyard in the port city Pula in Croatia where it was built in 1974.
The ship was on route from Brazil to Japan with iron ore when contact was lost with the vessel in the South Atlantic in November 1979. The ship vanished and the ensuing search operation yielded no results. 40 people lost their lives.
Some debris that could resemble parts from the tanker was found but no people. Still very little is known about the disaster, and the hearing after the accident was held behind closed doors. The principal theory holds that the cause could have been explosions caused by oil residue in the cargo compartments. MS Berge Vanga was, like its sister ship MS Berge Istra which disappeared under similar circumstances four years earlier, a ship which could transport both oil and iron ore. After these two disappearances no more combination ships like this were built, and oil was never again transported alongside ore.
Next to go ? Jack was close with one corect answer so if you want you turn if not anny one can take the next
TJK
-
Quite a story...As TJK says: Jack or anyone to go next...
-
Thanks Tore, well, I might as well go, I haven't had a go at this topic before I don't think :lol:
Ok, a question for the tug experts ;D
What three tugs are these? and where are they....? ;)
Tip....They were originally owned by the Alexandra Towing Company.
-
Name is i think
Mildred II
Marty
Impetus
But were i guess Ireland
-
Nope, Clue....one of the tugs is now in Greece under a different name-Still in service. They are also English built.
Jack ;D
-
Storm
Sorry not right this time.
-
Mike might know the aswer to my question ;D ;)
Jack.
-
Mike might know the aswer to my question ;D ;)
Jack.
Can't find them in my usual site for tugs, sorry!!
-
What? :o Everywhere that ship has a name "Storm". Maybe she has a sister ship which is maybe on your image but "Storm" - is the only one I know by that design.
Ah... Got it! It's the Lapad.
As she was scraped in 2006, so I didn't knew that there was another ship of that type.
Correct this time. :)
-
What's the name of this ferry and what were her years in operation?
Clue, look where she is sailing from...
Where is Ferry Man!!
-
Tricky question, Quaysider. ;) Don't know is there any difference between Storm & Lapad? To me they look same.
There are differences around the wheelhouse and mast - they are near sisters, with "Lapad" being British built.
-
Let's have an answer to my question please!!
-
Just so you know what the answer to my question was, the three tugs picture's are Sisters, Hibernia, Avenger, and the Moorcock, All moored up together on the Thames.
Jack ;D
-
Which ship is this..?
hint: it's not "Whiskey Whale"... ;)
-
Hehehe
Bourbon Orca
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=646042
-
Correct Mike, the Bourban Orca, an X-bow ship.. :)
-
OK, what's the name of this little beauty??
-

:evil:
-
Okay, here is a bigger bit if the pie...
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2dtpzz5.jpg)
-
QE2
-
"VOS Victory" - built here in Hull as "Trafalgar Guardian" - she has a sister "Scott Guardian" but this vessel doesn't appear to be in the Vroon fleet.
-
QE2
Correct :thumbs:
-
Mike, why don't you just get her from another angle so it'll be more possible to answer?
You never make things easy with your questions, anyway, here's a side view:
-
Judging from your first picture, that's a nice place to park a boat.. :)
-
Still waiting for an answer though!
-
Despite the side view still no answer..
If anyone has a new one, go ahead.. :)
-
This one
-
disney wonder or disney magic. They're identical so its impossible to tell.
-
disney wonder or disney magic. They're identical so its impossible to tell.
RMSGB
I would say that it's your turn to go again, or anyone as the question asker (?) is on vacation!
-
ok then, what ship is this:
-
my dad used to be captain on the vos victory when it was trafalgar guardian
-
the vroon website is www.vroonoffshore.com have a look at the vos pioneer because that is my dads boat

-
Not that easy - wrong!!!!
-
:o
Drat...
Oh well, sister ship Bardic Ferry (I didn't realise that the Gaelic had a sister at first... :()

Still wrong - come on Ferry Man

(http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/AtlanticSN/IonicFerry01.jpg)
-
At last - correct
Nic ships too.
Come out of the depression and post a question
-
Yes, even easy questions are not what they seem now and then...
In the meantime, it's anyone's go.. ;D
-
Righto.... Which current P&O Dover-Calais ferry was converted to a passenger ship during construction?
-
Pride of Burgundy
-
Correctio Mike, your turn.
-
Thanks.
Here is a little beauty, clue is she could be near East London?
What is her name?
-
Another clue, that's East London in South Africa.............
-
Whats the question, you just gave us a clue, no question.....
-
Whats the question, you just gave us a clue, no question.....

-
Ah, my bad. ;D

ah yes, Braemar ;)
-
one of the Fred Olsens. let me check......................
ah yes, Braemar ;)
Correct...
How did you know it was Fred Olsen...? I made sure that I cropped out the Fred Olsen parts...
-
Correct...
How did you know it was Fred Olsen...? I made sure that I cropped out the Fred Olsen parts...
I recognised it as a Fred Olsen but couldnt remember which one until I checked. And Fred Olsen cruise ships are smaller with less decks with the lifeboats genrally just below sun deck and any balcony cabins on the same deck as one of the boat decks ;)
anyway, looks like my go, Ill ask this again since no one got it first time round, what ship is this:
-
Not a Carnival Ship, I guess. But it looks like the Carnival Legend.
-
nope im afraid. try again.
-
Radiance of the Seas?
-
In absence of RMSGB, I would say you got it, Nathan.. ;D
Your go..
-
Thanks SD,
Which Stena Line ship has been stretched here?
(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/1730/stena.jpg) (http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stena.jpg)
-
Stena Brittanica
-
You got it Mike,
Your turn :thumbs:
-
What was the name of this ship when photographed, and her previous name?
-
the SS Australis, formerly the SS America..
Too bad what happened to her in 1994..
-
Correct SD. Your turn now
-
Thanks, which ship is this..?
-
That cant be Maasdam, its Ryndam
-
No, it's the Veendam
-
AHH! You edited your post while i was typing my answer! :( ;D
-
Yes, it's the Veendam.. :)
-
Another classic here, her name please?
-
that picture has a challenging title.. ;D
-
Not that difficult though. Look at the funnels!!
-
I was going to say Queen Elizabeth but then i saw the little symbol on the funnel..... ??? ???
-
I was going to say Queen Elizabeth but then i saw the little symbol on the funnel..... ??? ???
Funnels are raked more than the QE!
-
SS Unites States has a resemblance too, but then there is the funnel symbol! >:( UGH! ;D
-
Gripsholm 2!
Note to self....i believe that symbol is of the Swedish American line.....
-
Gripsholm (Swedish America) never had funnels that colour.
Sorry keep on looking
-
Darn!
Im thinking United States Line now
-
Hanseatic 1!
-
Impossibilistic 43? :lol:
-
No im sure its Hanseatic 1 this time, if you looka the 2 pictures and compare them you see what i mean ;)
-
I think you're right, Kapn Jonah.. :)
-
My go?
-
Yep..your go.. ;D
-
Ok, Which one is this?
-
Hanseatic 1!
Correct
-
SS Brasil Star..?
-
I'm pretty sure I'm right, so here's a new one:
Which ferry is this, and in which company colours..?
-
She is in the ugly ships thread, see my post there !
-
I can't be bothered, you will have to answer here..
Besides, she isn't so ugly.. :)
-
She is one of the Free Enterprise ships, the Green is the Townsend livery,m so it is pretty early
I saw Townsend vessel Free Enterprise II
-
You werent right SD, it was the Argentina Star.
-
Close enough Ferryman, it's the Free Enterprise IV..
Your go..
-
You werent right SD, it was the Argentina Star.
Spot the difference.. :)
-
Okay then,
What vessel is this longshot...
(http://i42.tinypic.com/bfgcy0.jpg)
-
Spot the difference.. :)
There isnt much difference, but they are 2 different ships, the one in question was the Argentina Star.
Okay then,
What vessel is this longshot...
(http://i42.tinypic.com/bfgcy0.jpg)
Ill have a look, i think she's a Costa ferry...
-
Nope
-
There isnt much difference, but they are 2 different ships, the one in question was the Argentina Star.
The site says that the same photo was used for both ships, so we're both right..Quite unique.. :)
-
I can't recall seeing a worse photo, Ferryman... :D
-
It was a very long way off... about 8-12 miles probably... anyway it was a small speck on the horizon ;)
-
It's a question for Ferryman, the ferry expert.
-
Ok, Ferry Man! See that ferry? Bring it on!
(http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq268/1j1j1/452-1.jpg)
It is the Danish Domestic ferry, Marstal
-
I looked at her, and thought she was a small Danish Ferry (I thought at first she was the Ana Laeso), or at least, I thought she was, I looked through the Danish Domestic Ferries, and eventually came across her.
Well, if you send me through the Blueprints, I shall see what I can do. Bear in mind though that I am busy now (Back to University on next Monday), so I will have to start her over summer.
-
Right got the bleuprints, I shall see what I can do...
-
If you had any common sense, you would know he was asking what the name was, duh. ;D :D
-
He answered the question 8 hours ago. How about actually reading what's above you :P
-
He deleted the post ;D :D :D :D
-
I dont think i will Mike.
Anyway, back on topic folks, anyone have another question
-
its an RCI Radiance class cruise ship. Its either Radiance/Brilliance/Serenade/Jewel, impossible to tell since they're all identical. ;)
-
right ok, what luvly-jubbly ship is this:
-
MV Mercury.
-
Yeah, that would be because he put a big black square over the name ;)
-
MV Mercury.
Nope im afraid. right company, wrong vessel and class.
-
I dont find so.....
-
its just the paint job ;)
-
Oh...
Millennium it would be, or something close to that.
http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=795215
Exactamundo! Celebrity Millenium it is.
ooh exactamundo, never used that word before, hmmmmmmmm (goes into seperate thought path).....
anywya, your go Diamant.
-
That would be the "Werder Bremen". Anyone can go next
-
I think questions directed to a person may be reason for others not to react..
This is anyone's game.. :)
-
What is the name of this ship?
-
Correct. Too easy for pro-shipspotter. ;D
LOL - so I'm considered to be a pro then?? :lol: don't know most of the older ones or cruise ships... give me cargo boats any day!
-
I think questions directed to a person may be reason for others not to react..
This is anyone's game.. :)
I don't think it was directed at anyone in particular - I just know of the vessel (and where to look). If I have any inkling to what the ships might be I'll look into finding details - if I have no clue I leave them for others more knowledgeable to answer. :)
-
What is the name of this tug..?
-
What is the name of this tug..?
Too easy - "Multratug 12" the carousel tug.
Harder one. Name this tug as she is in this photo OR her original name.
-
Correct Quaysider..(where's your table manners..? ) :D
-
I don't think that someone will answer that question about that tug
But I have ready one special question for our pro-shipspotter! A random picked bulkcarrier - what's her name?
Not a lot to go on, Japanese built, maybe Hakodate - no identiiable colour scheme - may need assistance with this one...
-
Yes, it's the right one for you..
-
No thanks, I prefer questions to be asked in general (not only to those experienced in ShipSpotting)
-
As I said earlier, questions should not be directed to a specific person..
-
Oops, sorry. Seems like a hard one as I couldn't find her on shipspotting.
Here's the right one for you:
Rattana Manii (IMO 7608370) - phew took some finding... :D
-
No doubt Quaysider will find some entertaining question to pose..
-
Yes, the 2-hour rule was one of my better ideas... :evil:
-
Captain Mike decided to wake it up, have a look ;)
-
There should be room for both. Maybe also a weird ships quiz to keep Diamant really amused!
LOL
-
Let's have the name of this tug please?
-
Is that the Norwegian owned Ajax, Mike?
Jack.
-
Sorry Jack, no....
-
Tenax?
Jack
p.s. Getting mixed up with numbers here :lol:
-
Correct, arriving in Portsmouth yesterday for dry docking:
http://www.solentwaters.co.uk/JAlbumnews/Recentnews/
-
A Ha! Thought it was one of those two, got the numbers mixed up :lol:
Ok, whats the name of this tug, and who is she operated by...?
-
Humph. This is going to take some time, Ship Spotting has over 44,000 photos of tugs!!
Not a Bugsier, wrong funnel colours, I am going to leave it to a tug expert!!
-
*cough* there's an easier way to find her-not Shipspotting *cough cough*
Jack ;D
-
SD told me yesterday that questions directed at individuals where not in the spirit of the quiz..............
What's the name of this liner?
-
It has been too long since we had a question...so
What is the name of this vessel, and why is she famous...? (there are two reasons...)
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2iqiln8.jpg)
-
It's only 20 minutes since I modified mine to a question
-
Oh drat, that wasn't there before...
:'(
It is an old looking vessel, is that Dover Cliffs in the background?
-
A clue
Donaldson
-
Letitia
-
CORRECT
-
Excellent...so
What is the name of this vessel, and why is she famous...? (there are two reasons...)
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2iqiln8.jpg)
-
:P
I have looked
It isn't a Swedish, Danish or Norwegian Domestic (internal) Ferry
I will look again later...
-
He insulted my honour!
I was saddened by this...
Therefore I will answer the question and restore my honour :captain:
-
Can I suggest when a photo hasn't been identified after, let's say 1 day, the poster then provides the answer?
And to show willing, my last pic was the tug/tender "Topsham" on the buoys at Dartmouth - she was originally the "Gatcombe" of Red Funnel
-
Great idea Quaysider, and great photo. never saw her as Red Funnell!
Daimant might get bored with a new rule and it should be run by Salty Dog!!
-
Good idea, Quaysider.. :)
-
What's the name of this ship, what was she, and where was she photographed?
-
Part a: Correct
Part b: Correct
Part c: Still waiting for an answer
-
As a port observer should be easy for you!
After all it is a pity not to get the answer correct after so much research
-
Should not waste too much time there. Ship Photos is better
-
There (http://www.shipphotos.co.uk/pages/mercury62.htm)
ShipPhotos is only better for this question. Shipspotting rules! 8)

(http://www.familyrealty.biz/media/louisville2.jpg)

This game is not about cities, so just the ships name will do.. :)
-
the ship is named after the city. Hint to city: largest city in kentucky. first to words to ship: Belle of __________. you can use wikipedia for it.
-
Which ship is this..?
-
Close.. :)
-
The answer to my question was Belle of Louisville and the bonus was Louisville.
-
Yes, her name is the RV Polarstern..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarstern_(Ship)

Saying that the crane is famous, is like saying Frans Bauer is a world celebrity.. :D
-
Halliburton's catamaran crane vessel?

Btw, the answer to my question was: livestock carrier Linda Clausen, formerly the Cunard liner Cunard Ambassador..
-
Low response while Europe sleeps..(little chance of an American answer).. ;)
-
If I got it right, I would have to stay awake another 2 hours... ;D

Nah, who knows..maybe some American will have a bright idea.. :D

Global 1200

What is the name of this classic French Pacquet?
-
I take it you have all given up on the last question, she was the French Liner 'De Grasse'
Easier one this time:
What is the name of this British Troopship and what was her former German name, bonus points if you can give her name when sold out of British service !!!!!
-
Which ship is this, and where is it..?
(blinds will open a bit every 15 min..)
-
Pride of Rotterdam starting her delivery voyage from Venice to Rotterdam.
-
Very good Nathan... ;D

What's the name of this freighter, and what was she doing here in Bremerhaven in 2002?
-
European Highway: http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=8418
or
European Seaway: http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=744564
It won't be the Seaway, she is still going strong... ;D
-
It would be nice if you just gave the answer in plain English, and maybe then support it with a link.. ;)
-
It would be nice if you just gave the answer in plain English, and maybe then support it with a link.. ;)
SD, that's too easy for Diamante
-
Yes, he's often answering questions with here or this.. :lol:
-
Well, since Diamant hasn't improved his answer...
It is either the European Pathway or European Highway, being converted in Bremerhaven from freight ferries into passenger ferries (the Pride of Kent and Pride of Canterbury)
;)
-
To get back to the question:
I think the picture shows the European Pathway being rebuilt to the car-ferry Pride of Canterbury..
(nice try, Nathan.. ;) )
-
Name of this fast ferry..?
-
Nope.. :)
-
Close enough, actually she is (was) the Sicilia Jet, probably a sistership..
Your go..
-
What ship?
-

What ship?
Where? ???
Why must you always add things in after i ask the question and make me look stupid?
I didn't knew that you asked it. I posted a question, then added the picture, then refreshed the page & finally saw your post...

Get Ferry Man, you'lll never get it,the answer was:
The Air France fast ferry Sea Shuttle I arriving at St Tropez in August 2001
Anyone to go
-
Because the answer was
Sea Shuttle 1
The following details on Sea Shuttle I have been supplied by Eje Flodstrom:-
Sea Shuttle I is owned by Hydrocruiser Inc and has been employed on various charters over the years. It was built in 1994 by MK Sea Tranportation International, South Africa. It is actually a hydrofoil supported GRP catamaran designed by Teknicraft, then in South Africa but now located in New Zeeland.
1994 Delivered to Competitive Concepts, UK, as SeaShuttle I, flag: Belize (temporarlily named Sea Shuttle Seattle).
1994 Demonstrated on Nynäshamn-Visby, Sweden. Too small.

2001 Back in same traffic, owner Hydrocruiser Inc.
-
Don't know any ships with chickens on the funnels
-
That would be the clue I am looking for. Not long until MOTD finishes and I am off!!
-
Hence the cock.. :)
-
Here is a pretty ship for a Sunday morning, what was her name?
CLUE
Company was MM
-
What's wrong with the funnels?
Nothing
Here is the answer to your question of yesterday:
Photo and Company House Flag
-
Yes , and I gave you a clue
-
You were correct.
The answer to yours is either Enchanted Isles or Enchanted Seas, they were both the same having started life as Moore-McCormack Lines Argenina and Brasil
-
OK, what's this one?
-
Hmmm, four funnels...
Titanic?
-
No, I would NEVER ask a question about that ship!
-
Lusitania?
-
Nope
-
Aquatania?
-
No, you will get there eventually
-
Diamant,correct
Thought you would be waiting in the background to leap in with the right answer!!
Here is a good book about her:

HMS Victory...?

Mary Rose...?
-
Royal George
-
If she was finished and painted we could see what shipping line she belonged to!! LOL
-
HMS Ark Royal of 1587
-
The Sovereign of the Seas..(good hint)
http://www.modelshipmaster.com/products/tall_ships/sovereign_of_the_seas.htm
-
Ok, name of this boat.. ;D
-
Is that Orca, from Jaws?
-
Yep.. "You're gonna need a bigger boat"... :D
-
;D
What's the name of this ferry?
-
Stena Seafarer
I was on about ten minuttes ago, Diamant - I incorrectly guessed Mary Rose, HMS Victory and Titanic ;)
-
Incorrect... :o
Correct Company/Route though..
-
I have to go now....Answer was "Stena Leader"...
TFM, you were closest, your turn.
(And check "Pride of Burgundy" topic ;) )
-
Got a new one, Ferryman..?
-
Indeed.
Okay here is a night shot of a ferries funnel. But what ferry is it...? (It is a rather distinct funnel...)
-
You definately need a better camera.. :D
-
Hey, the same camera also took this pic. The fact is it was a night shot, which are always difficult to get, and a zoomed one at that - meaning that the longer exposure and the zoom makes the movement more visible...
Besides, I upgraded to a Nikon D60 DSLR ;D
-
Very nice pic..(why didn't you post that ?) I was only pulling your leg..Night shots are hard without a tripod or something..
My guess is it's a Sealink ferry.. ;)
-
Let's have a new one: which ship is this..?
Hint: she is used lately for voyages around the Spitsbergen Archipelago..
-
That old sailing ship above (17th Century) is the Swedish ship "Vasa" I think.
-
I think you mean the Sovereign of the Seas, Traddles..That station has passed.. ;)
-
Answer my question first..(it's not that hard..) :)
-
Surely you will be able to find the answer to my question before then.. ;D
-
I'll give it a shot..
Nordstjernen (North Star in english) from Hurtigruten?
-
Very good Brinch.. :) Your go..
-
This is the only pic i have at hand, it's probably a tough question, but anyway..
What's the name of this ship:
-
Is it the good ship Löllipöp..?
-
Nope
i'll have to log soon, and I'll probably be without internet for a couple of days. would you like the name now?
-
Yes, I'm sure we are all wondering which ship it is..
-
The ship is M/V Pajuttaat, Royal arctic Line, www.ral.gl
It's a small feeder vessel for small communities in Greenland. it's mostly operating on very small ports like in the picture.
-
Thanks Brinch, hope you get your internet back soon.. :)
-
This one:
-
This one!
-
Then this one
-
Must be this then, getting bored with this game!
-
Name and owner of this one, and what happened next?
Clue 1 - Venice
Clue 2 - Cogedar
-
It is a new one today, unanswered from yesterday, you have had all night to work on it....................
-
You just need to search:
Cogedar Line Fleet History
Flaminia
Flaminia was built as the American-Hawaii SS Co Missourian of 1922. She was sold to the British Government and renamed Empire Swan in 1940, and then passed to the Belgian Government (in exile) as the Belgian Freighter in 1942. She was later renamed Capitaine Potie and owned by Cie Maritime Belge. In 1948 she passed to Cia.Genovese di Armamento (Cogedar Line) as the Genova. In 1954 she was rebuilt as the emigrant carrier Flaminia. She was sold in 1964, and scrapped in 1970.
-
Here is Tuesday's new one as no one got the last one:
Name please
-
You had forgot to black out the name at the bow, even if it is blurry. I think it is called Independence.
-
to see it better here, I zoomed in to theclosest to the name and it said the name Independence. okay, my question for ya'll:
Provide a Google Earth overview snapshot of the area Lusitania sank in, and here is a bonus:
the _______ ____ will be the world's largest ship and will be a floating city in the future.
-
Bonus:
Freedom Ship
-

Im not sure the freedom ship will ever come to reality, correct me if im wrong but I think its just a dream and hasnt started any sorts of construction anyhow ;)
-
Construction hasnt begun, but they have been planning for many years, and it will eventually come to be real, and no, its not a dream :P
-
Construction hasnt begun, but they have been planning for many years, and it will eventually come to be real, and no, its not a dream :P
well it is a dream, that should one day come to reality then ;D
well I hope it does come, but back on topic (sorry for bringing us off-topic)............ :)
-
She will have a High speed of 0.12 Knots :P
And why must you be so negative on this type of stuff? :-[
-
If you don't understand, never mind.
Back on topic guys.
-
Well its been 2 hours since the question was asked, any one to go now.
-
This topic is 'Ship Quiz' can we please have questions on SHIPS!
If people want questions about cranes then there should be a Crane Quiz Topic.
-
A crane is a crane, the same way a car is a car.
A ship is a ship, this is not a 'Vessel Quiz' if it was you could include questions about cooking pans.
Back on topic.
What is the name of this ship?
-
Answer the previous one first please, while I work on yours.
-
Correct , same shipping company as my previous one , that's why I thought you would get it quickly
-
Right!
I'll return to my favourite question-style:
What's the name of this world's second largest crane vessel, after the Thialf ?
"Saipem 7000" in 1999 when I was in Rozenburg the taxi back to the ferry took me via the dockyard at Botlek so I got a close up look at her (no photos though)
-
If you're more & only into cruise ships & liners - here's the right one for you:
"Dalmacija" of 1964
-
Why don't you post the next one, Quaysider..? :)
-
People need to be carefull they don't kill this thread
-
Some are very present.. ;)
So who has a good new one..?
-
Why don't you post the next one, Quaysider..? :)
Ok - my problem is I only post my own photos - I have several thousand but finding ones that are 'unique' and identifiable is rather tricky - so try this one for starters - taken in 1992.
-
The picture of this yacht is several years old, after remodelling by some small American bombs..
The ship is now for sale at a price of $35 million..
What is its current name..?
-
The barge is the Giant 4..(you should have asked about the salvage of the Tricolor) :)
-
As no-one has tried to answer mine - the answer is "Inowroclaw" - a Polish ro/ro. She had one sister, the "Baltic Eagle" but the funnel markings were the give away.
-
I did try, Quay..I'm still looking for a good site for funnel-colours.. :)
-
SD
Yes I have had no luck on funnel colours at all = there is an opportunity there for some one with the time!
Mike
-
I'll let you know when I find one.. ;)
-
Thanks D, though it means leafing through allmost 200 pages..
Also, it probably doesn't apply to older shipping lines..
I was thinking of something more compact.. :)
-
Something like this (http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Flags_World-poster_L.jpg), but then for funnels..
-
Let's just keep meddling on..Time for a new one.. :)
Btw: the answer to my question is the Ocean Breeze...
-
Next Sunday, this remarkable bridge will start its voyage from the Hollandia wharf in Rotterdam to Dublin..
Around 17.00 it will pass the Erasmus bridge..
What is the name of this future Dublin bridge..?
-
Yes, it should be nice seeing those two bridges together..I'll post a picture of it on Monday..
The design is by the famous architect Santiago Calatrava, and represents a harp on its side..
The harp being a typical Irish symbol.. :)
-
Been a while so here's another ship to guess. Can you name her and bonus point for her original name. Photo taken June 1992
-
My guess is the Chandris liner The Victoria
Original name Victoria (Incres Line)..
-
Ok, show a picture of this famous ocean liner in her former colours..
-
Ok, I'll do it.. ;D
Your go..
-
It is the SS France
-
My guess is the Chandris liner The Victoria
Original name Victoria (Incres Line)..
Part one is correct but you don't get the bonus point - she was originally the "Dunnottar Castle" until 1958
-
It is the SS France
Yes, Ferryman..In the first pic she is shown as the Norway, formerly the France
Diamant had earlier given the correct answer, I don't know why he later removed it..
Btw, I found your hotel.. :D
-

Btw, I found your hotel.. :D
;D
That is good, where is it?
-
In Dublin.. It's quite a nice hotel apparently..:)
-
What's her name & what was the ex-name?
The Achille Lauro (you removed the stars on her funnels), former name the Willem Ruys..
Anyone to go next.. :)
-
If nobody minds, may I have a go? I have a question prepared......
What is the name of this famous ship. Hint, she lies off of New Jersey.
-
SS Normandie?
-
Nice try, but not the correct answer, sorry :(
-
Andrea Doria
-
I can assume I've got it right. Google "Andrea Doria" and that image comes up.
New Question:
What's the name of this British ferry and who operates her?

(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9940/ferry.png) (http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ferry.png)
She has been in service for about 7 years now, and they still haven't got a picture of her for newspaper adverts - the company was offering a special offer or something, and that picture was used. Maybe I should send them one of my shots, so they can update...
-
The same picture is used for our newspaper, or this one;
http://www.poferriesfreight.com/freight/content/images/large_calais.jpg
Both are computer renders but surely it can't be hard to take a picture of the real ship..
I take it you know the answer to the question? ;D
-
Of course. It is the Pride of Canterbury, for P&O.
Just waiting to see if anyone else knew :D
(I'm very generous. ;))
That other picture, by the way, is an old photoshopped picture, I think, because if you look, the front has no windows above the recessed ones, which they have now.
-
;D You got it
Well spotted, it could well be photoshopped. I guess P&O wanted a nice rust free, clean picture of the Pride of Calais. And since the real one is quite far from rust free, they had to photoshop it :P
-
Okay, here is a slightly hard one...
What is the name of the sister ship to the Seafrance Cezanne and Stena Fantasia (now the Wawel). What happened to her...
-
Yes, it's a slightly confusing one..
My guess is that the sistership was the Tzarevetz, eventually appearing as the Fantasia in 1990 on Dover-Calais services..
-
Nope. Sorry
What I meant was the third Sister ship, not the Cezanne/Fiesta or Fantasia/Stena Fantasia...
-
What's her name? Owner was P&O
TSS Canberra
-
Another beauty, what's her name?
-
Correct
-
Blue Funnel Line "Centaur", Alfred Holt and Company, Liverpool.
-
She was built for carrying passengers and SHEEP, at 20 knots between Singapore and Fremantle, Australia. 190 passengers and 4,500 sheep. :doh:
-
Ok, which liner is this..?
-
At a wild guess-Is it the TSS Fairstar?
Jack.
-
No Jack, it's was the:
SS Guglielmo Marconi
-
SD says no, but go ahead anyway..
It was the Galileo Galilei, her sistership.. ;)
-
SD says no, but go ahead anyway..
It was the Galileo Galilei, her sistership.. ;)
SD
Not according to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Guglielmo_Marconi
-
Wiki knows best.. :) (I guess Simplon is wrong)..
-
Name and current function of this ship please:
-
That looks a lot like Sea Shepards "Steve Irwin"?
-
No, wrong
-
Icelandic fishery patrol vessel?? NO idea of a name.
-
She looks like a research ship...Knorr?
-
Both wrong
-
Good one this - Wrong!
Time for a clue, she was in Portsmouth on 2/5/2009
-
No it's not.
Do you all want to give in?
Another clue
Used to be a pilot boat at Wandelaar Pilot Station it it's previous life/format/name
-
(http://users.telenet.be/urbiehome/LOODSBOOT%207.jpg)
Jack.
-
(http://users.telenet.be/urbiehome/LOODSBOOT%207.jpg)
Jack.
And the answer to my question is????
-
"The Cdt.FOURCAULT was origanally a pilot boat at Wandelaar Pilot Station. Later a training ship for the Navigation School.
Hence her name Cdt.FOURCAULT.
Now she is sold privately as a diving support ship, research vessel."
Jack
p.s. Sorry about that Mike, I pressed post by accident :doh:
-
CORRECT = That took a bit of time. She was in the Solent news and in Shipspotting
:2thumbs:
I think Jack got there first and his turn to go..
-
Ok-Whats the name of this boat (Easy peasy bit *cough Search* ;D), BUT, what company made the hull?
(http://i40.tinypic.com/sdkbi8.jpg)
Jack.
-
It's your Dad's boat, so you should know the answer!
-
Haha, Dad's on the stern there actually ;D :doh:
Jack.
-
He's looking for the builders plate is he?
-
He's actually trying to get off the stern and down the ladder without knackering his back! :lol: :D :doh:
As you can see, I was trying to help him :angel: :2thumbs:
Jack.
-
GOT HER!!
Colvic Watson!!

-
Correctamundo (I bet you're having a right nosy at her now aren't you ;D :2thumbs:)
Fancy buying a boat? :lol:
Jack
p.s. Read the bit of info at the bottom :D
-
You obviously eat too much as he is selling you too
:evil:
-
Hahahahaha :lol:
If I could, I'd be gone with the boat :P
Jack.
-
Would not have minded buying her, but Fleetwood is too far from the Solent!
OK, back on topic, what's the name of this one?
-
No wrong
-
"Emma Maersk", The biggest one.
-
How about the Johannes Maersk..?
-
Still wrong, it's the Maersk Algol !!
Anyone to go
-
Here is the picture, one of my usual sites:
http://www.solentwaters.co.uk/JAlbumnews/Recentnews/slides/Maersk%20Algol.html
:2thumbs:
-
I should be then from Solent to know local sites & answer your questions! :P
This site has a web cam which almost looks at your favourite museum!
-
Nah, not only. Here's another my favourite museum then - Museum of the World ocean - the research ship "Vityaz".
That your apartment on the corner?
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/9231953
-
Here's a new one: Name this pipe-laying/offshore construction vessel..
-
Normand 7 ?
-
That's right, Diamant.. :)
-
My guess would be the Russian Kommuna, commissioned in 1913 (!)...
-
I Googled her.. :)
Her purpose was to hoist sunken submarines with her four 250 ton lifting rigs. Modern subs are too big for her, but she remains in service as a submersible support ship.
Built in the Netherlands, I see.. :)
-
How about this one: which ship ? (and yes, she is loading the Russian space-shuttle Buran)
-
Not the Palamos..
-
Right again.. ;)
-
What type of ship is this?
-
What type of ship is this?
LASH - Lighter Aboard SHip
-
That was quick!! Your go....
-
Taken in 1983, can you name this vessel?
-
Just out of curiousity: is the Kommuna the oldest ship in service in the Russian navy..?
(or maybe anywhere else..) 1915 is pretty old..
-
Que? I can't find a Kommuna!!
:doh:
-
Don't worry, it's just a side question.. (answer 1184 :)
-
Thanks, my Russian is not much better than my Chinese.. ;D
-
What about the answer to Quaysider's question?
-
Here's an American one: what is the name of this ferry..?
-
MV John F. Kennedy?
-
Nope.. Hint: it's "Molinari" class..;)
-
Ah.. Spirit of America? :)
-
Well, I guess they all look alike..It's the Guy V Molinari..
Your go.. ;)
-
That would have been my second guess.. out of three.. hehe..
But I thought you wouldn't give it away with that hint. ;D
Here's mine:
-
No idea about that ship, Mike. Looks like a cruise ship or ferry from the former USSR...
Quaysider prefers his own question style - in the same way as I'm asking. ::)
Sorry - I thought this was a "Ship Quiz" - so therefore I post photos of ships. I try to make them unique, not a 'guess one out of several sisters' question.
The answer is the "Mariya Yermolova" - a Russian cruise ship that spent a few seasons in the early 80's sailing from Hull to the North Cape.
-
SD and Fred
Easy one for you, what's the name of this one?
-
I think it looks like the USS Arizona, the WWII American ship that sank in Pearl Harbor and is memorialized.
-
I dunno, Matt. She looks kinda Dutch.
-
Good to be back home, eh..?
As Mike thought it would be easy for Fred and me, I suppose it's an old Dutch navy vessel (Haven't found it yet.. ;)
-
SD
It was Dutch HNLMS Kortenaer 1925
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HNLMS_Kortenaer_(1925)
-
What? ???
The ship looks bearly like her. only ship I know that was close to it.
-
The 118 Wallypower.. :)
-
What's the name of this new ro-ro transport ship, and for what was she specially built..?
-
City of Hamburg, built for transporting parts of the Airbus A380 (I think that is the plane, she is the big one anyway.)
-
That's right, here she is unloading a cockpit section of the A380..
And a picture how she usually looks..
-
Okay, so what is this ferry...
(http://i43.tinypic.com/34sqdxl.jpg)
-
Pride of Burgundy!
-
How can you tell :-\
In my opinion looks like POR but hey what do I know :D
-
How can you tell :-\
In my opinion looks like POR but hey what do I know :D
You can tell by the bow ;) also, the livery with the blue shows its a P&O ship.
-
Nope, not the Burgundy, though a clue, right port area. ;)
-
Which ship is this, and what was her former name..?
The bottom picture is a vague hint.. ;)
-
Nope, not the SS African Queen..
-
Hint: the ship in question was not actually in the film, but she was the inspiration for the German gunboat Luisa..
To this day she performs a ferry service on Lake Tanganyika..
-
SD, what was the title of that film? Not often watch tv these years...
The African Queen...?
-
Yes, the African Queen..It's a classic..You really should see it sometime.. :)
The answer to my quesion was the MV Liemba, formerly the Graf von Götzen..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Liemba
-
So..untill a new one comes along, we have Ferrymans ferry to think about.. :)
-
I'd say that's the Pride of Dover or Pride of Calais Stern?
-
What the heck, go ahead and post a new one Nathan.. :)
-
Thanks,
What's the name of this ferry?
Clue; ****** Dover
-
You got it, but I don't remember posting that pic before...
I did post a different picture of the ship though http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,13286.0.html
-
Bit late (sorry, I run out of internet credit last night :doh:) but, it is indeed the Pride of Dover, Nathan :thumbs:
-
Thanks TFM (Are you in a hotel?)
(sorry, I run out of internet credit last night :doh:)
-
Nope, it's just I am currently running a pay-as-you-go mobile broadband, and despite having a 8GB allowance, I can get through it in about 3 weeks. (I am hoping to transfer to proper broadband soon though.)
-
A new question:
Wat ship is this?
(http://i40.tinypic.com/14c8ad3.jpg)
Hint: it is Louisville's paddleboat founded in 1914.
-
Even though the type of language is different, Belle of Louisville is correct. Your go Diamant. :2thumbs:
-
My guess is the Wind Star..(it certainly is a nice ship.. :)
http://www.sevenseastravel.com/windstarships07.html
-
Eventuality is the mother of necessity..
In other words: anyone to go next.. ;)
-
What's the name of this ex P&O ferry?
-
Current or from when the pic was taken... ;D
-
Can you name both...? ;D
-
Of course...
It is either the:
Pride of Portsmouth (ex Olau Brittania, currenlty SNAV Lazio)
or
Pride of Le Havre (ex Olau Hollandia, currently SNAV Sardegna)
Sisters:
Val de Loire, currently King of Scandinavia
and
Fjord Norway (currently Princess of Norway)
;D
-
Correct, it was the PO Portsmouth ;)
-
Okay, so what is the name of the latest FastCraft from Incat, and what operating company/route is she going to undertake...
-
What is happening here?
-
Not right, the question is meant to ask for what is being transported by what?
-
And the answer is?
:2thumbs:
-

Yes you are right, RJ1 and RJ2 off to a new life!
On board La Rochelle. AIS shows St. Petersburg, Russia

MV Grotty Ship

New one: This ship is expected to be delivered in 2013..
Envisaged as two supertankers joined in a catamaran design, it will be the largest ship ever made..
Its purpose will primarily be for single-lift installation and removal of large offshore oil and gas platforms, and installation of oil and gas pipelines..What is the name..?
-
Correct Diamant.. ;D

Thoth this was the English forum :evil:
-
Diamant must be saying that to his Polish friend, but saltydog is Dutch so they must be just doing that for fun.
-
One for the Dutch. What's the name of the ship with the yellow funnel?
-
I think it's the MS Friesland..
-
Let's have a new one..
Here you see the Karla at top speed in the Noordzeekanaal, west of Amsterdam
What was her former name..?
-
Correct SD, your go
-
Thanks Mike, (didn't know when you'd be back.. ;) )
-
Close enough, it was the Voskhod 604.. :)
-
So you're up, Diamant.. :)
-
Thanks Mike, (didn't know when you'd be back.. ;) )
Where is this? If you got ms Friesland right you might know this.
Sorry that the question got lost but the photo was too large, and I didn't notice the text had gone when I re-sized it!!
LOL
-
Is that a question, or just a pretty picture..? ;D
-
Is that a question, or just a pretty picture..? ;D
It looks like a pretty picture, Saltydog
-
I think the question may be: where is this..? (but I'm not certain..)
It's most likely a small Dutch town..
-
I think the question may be: where is this..? (but I'm not certain..)
It's most likely a small Dutch town..
See above!!
-
My guess would be Medemblik..Let's keep it to ships.. :)
-
Near enough, it was actually Enkhuizen, and there was the bowsprit of a ship on the right, but I forgot to ask the name.
Your go............
-
Ok, what is the (rather obvious) name of this solar-powered ferry..?
-
It is obvious, just look at the picture..

You're close enough, built by Solar Sailor in Australia..
Her name is Miss Statue of Liberty..

M/S Americana, or something like that.

To keep with the combined cargo and pax ships...

-
No, I recognized the ship.
-
I'm afraid, no one (except The Ferry Man, maybe) will get that ferry...
I forgot to answer... (was very busy last night)
It is the Dana Sirena, I believe.
probably in Esjberg (*doesn't look like Harwich)
-
One for IRI5HJ4CK - What's the full name of this tug?
-
I forgot to answer... (was very busy last night)
It is the Dana Sirena, I believe.

Correct! - on both. :2thumbs:
-
Too difficult for you lot!!
It's the Svitzer Lyndhurst, anyone to go................
-
Who?
-
Anyone can answer, there are no private questions here.
Next question please someone
-
Black Prince
-
She was a ferry, but she was converted into a cruise ship
Okay, what ship currently operates the Newhaven-Dieppe route?
-
Correct, your go
-
looks like the Explorer.
-
What ship is this? (Not the tug)
-
British India SS Co. "Uganda". What on earth had happened to her to be in such a mess? Is that a Barbadian flag at her masthead?
-
She went to the Falklands!
Your go
-
I don't think Angus is coming with one!
Here's a new puzzler, what is the name of this small cruise ship?
-
I don't think Angus is coming with one!
Here's a new puzzler, what is the name of this small cruise ship?
Says "Island Sky" on the stern Mike ;D

Correct!!!! (Silly Me)
Your go...

Name this smart little cruise ship.
-
Looks like an helsingør build ship, funchal perhaps?
-
Looks like an helsingør build ship, funchal perhaps?
:thumbs: Spot on correct - she was in Aberdeen last Saturday.
Your turn.
-
Funchal is a really good loking ship for sure.
What was the original name of this ship, before it joined the American Sealift ?
Bonus question: what was/is it known for?
-
One of the Algol class - i think the name says "Regulus" so that would make her the former "Sea-Land Commerce" - capable of 33 knots ranking them amongst the fastest deep-sea cargo vessels in the world.
-
Close enough, it should according to the website, be Capella. Capellas former name was Sealand Mclean. It was as far as I know the fastest cargo ship in the world, I believe it made a pacific crossing with an average speed around 33 knots. :thumbs:
Your turn
-
What's the name of this 55kt craft and where will she work?
-
Where
-
What is happening here and where?
-
Clue:
It's a Merchant Navy Class Locomotive
-
No
-
As the Loco is "Clan Line" is it a reunion of Clan Line personnel?
-
Angus
No, not actually, it was this:
http://www.eastleigh100.com/
I put it in to liven up the thread again!
Mike
-
This is Ship Quiz, not train, plane, and ship quiz. Keep the questions on ships of the sea. But the train or a plane have to be part ship. Like the first question.
-
What is Merchant Navy then? SHIP
-
Anyone to post?
-
One to keep you busy - Name this ferry ;D
-
I know it ain't European Saway, ES is much more bluer.
-
I could answer, but I think I designed her myself... :2thumbs:
-
One of the Norfolk Line Ferries. ?? Maersk
-
Yep :thumbs:
(even though it wasn't my question... ::))
-
About time we had a new one to tax the brains.
What is the name of this mega yacht?
-
CORRECT!!
-
There are 2 ship companies that have the same name but for different sections of ships, one is ferries and the other is cruises. What is the company?
(Hint: one is in the Caribbean, and the other is in Europe.)
-
P&O?
-
Correct, the two companies are called P&O Ferries and P&O Cruises, P&O Ferries is in Europe and P&O Cruises is in the Caribbean. Your Go TFM. :thumbs:
-
Okay, so:
How many different companies sail out of Dover Port? Who are they?
-
Correct, the two companies are called P&O Ferries and P&O Cruises, P&O Ferries is in Europe and P&O Cruises is in the Caribbean. Your Go TFM. :thumbs:
P&O Cruises is a UK Based company
-
P&O Cruises is a UK Based company
Well best I know.
-
Okay, so:
How many different companies sail out of Dover Port? Who are they?
That would be -
LD Lines
P&O
SeaFrance
Norfolkline
-
Bingo! :thumbs:
Your go!
-
Thanks ;D
And a nice Ferry question for a Thursday evening..
Name this ferry (And there is a way of telling her from her sister, look at the lifeboats..)
-
By the colors of the hull, it is a P&O ferry. I think it is either European Express or European Seaway.
-
Nope :thumbdown:
-
Just sent him a PM. He hasn't been on line since May 19th?
-
When I check his profile, he was last active today(June 4th,2009).
-
Just sent him a PM. He hasn't been on line since May 19th?
Your right "Last Active: May 19, 2009, 19:22:22"
Maybe it's his internet connection, or something like that?
Jack.
-

-
I always keep getting my itnitials wrong, sorry :doh: :doh: :doh: I can't belived that happened, but shouldn't we be getting bac on topic?
-
New one.
What happened here, which ship was it and where was it ?
-
By the colors of the hull, it is a P&O ferry. I think it is either European Express or European Seaway.
European Express doesn't exist, and European Seaway is a lot different to the European Causeway which is in the picture....you were correct about the company, though.
-
New one.
What happened here, which ship was it and where was it ?
The VISTAMAR was grounded enroute from Palma to Malaga, between Eivissa and Formentera in may 2003. She took on water and was maintained afloat with inflatable balloons.
Perhaps it's the accident you're reffering to.

-
Ok, what was the name of the passenger/cargo ship that actually did fight (and was sunk) against a battle cruiser during WWII? Additional question: what was the name of this battle cruiser?
DVOMarinedesign.
-
Would that have been "Jervis Bay" sunk whilst defending a convoy from attack by "Admiral Scheer". ???
-
The expected answer to my quizz was the RAWALPINDI (a P&O liner in peace time) and the battle cruise was the SCHARNHORST.
However, your answer, JERVIS BAY and ADMIRAL SHEER, does perfectly fit my quizz too.
So congratulations Traddles!
Your go.
DVOMarineDesign.
-
I thought of "Rawalpindi" but rejected that answer as she was fighting two ships, the "Scharnhorst" and the "Gneisnau" so I thought that would be the wrong answer. :doh: I apologise that right now I can not think of a question, sorry.
-
Yes Traddles, both SCHARNHORST and GNEISENAU were involved in the battle against the RAWALPINDI, but the armed merchant ship and SCHARNHORST were the only two ones which directly fought against each over.
Direct fight of an armed ex-passenger liner against a battle cruiser were very very rare during WWII.
DVOMarineDesign.

here:
What is this vessel:
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2wlvbjm.jpg)
PS.
I blocked out the name and logo except the Us and Canada flag :thumbs:
-
The Cat ;)
-
THat was cheap you live up there but whatever ::) NEXT::
-
Very nice set of whiskers on the Cat.
-
Its a nice vessel the steering wheel is al large as the circle you make putting your indexfinger touching the tip of your thumb :o I watched a show on it. :thumbs:
-
Very nice set of whiskers on the Cat.
Didn't see those painted on whiskers :doh:
-
??? huh
-
Never Mind:P
Whats this one?
-
The Smallwood?
-
Yes and yes but Matt you got it first, your go.
-
ok does it have to be a well known boat/vessel?
-
a ship from the best known ports or a historical ship, like Titanic.
-
Hey guys,
New question, its been almost 4 hours since he got the question right, and still no question...
What ship is this and to which company does it belong?
-
In case time is up for that question, here is my question:
WSL and CL were two rival companies that merged when WSL was in despare. What is the full name of both of the ship companies and name what their name went to when they merged. for a bonus, there are four ships of CL that have the same names(one name for two ships). Name these ships.
-
They look like Flettner Rotors, a quite old idea for providing power from the wind without the use of sails.
-
What is this one?
-
What is the name of this ferry and where does she operate?
Not to be confused with her sister ship...
-
Either the Spirit of Gosport or Spirit of Portsmouth, on the Portsmouth-Gosport route...
-
No one answered my question. The answers are White Star Line(WSL) Cunard Line(CL). Together they are Cunard White Star Line. The bonus was the Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth 2, Queen Mary, and Queen Mary 2.
-
Either the Spirit of Gosport or Spirit of Portsmouth, on the Portsmouth-Gosport route...
Gosport yes, good one for Ferryman!
Your go
-
Okay, so what ship brought in new Red Funnel fastcraft Red Jet 5 into Southampton?
-
CEC Meadow
-
The forum seems a bit dead lately so I thought i'd wake the topic up with this question:
Which Dover ferry is this?
-
Matt, you can only post a new question if you got the old one correct, but I'm sorry, you are wrong. You were close, though ;)
-
Pride of calis or however you spell it and I posted it already :P
-
Pride of Dover is the same as Pride of Calais...If one of them is incorrect, the other is likely to be incorrect too...
If I were you, I'd wait until you get the correct answer before posting your question.
-
Pride of burgundy
-
You got it :2thumbs:
-
OK NOW I can post my question, I think ::)
OK What NYC Ferry is this?
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2nghema.jpg)

Anyway, it's good to be back.. :)

(http://i42.tinypic.com/2d8m903.jpg)

:doh: :doh:
http://yachts.monacoeye.com/yachtsbysize/pages/delphine01.html
-
What's the name of this French ferry? When was she built?
Clue: Unlike her sister, this ferry operates from Dover ;)
-
Le Cote d'Albatre, built in 2005.. :)
-
Correct SD, her sister is the Seven Sisters which operates Newhaven to Dieppe...your turn :)
-
An easy one: how many masts will the Rainbow Warrior III have..?
-
Looking at the pictures, 4 but connected at the top?
-
That's what I count too, Nathan.. I've never seen that kind of mast configuration..
Your go.. :)
-
Ok, looks like an interesting ship to sail in SSExtremes...
What is the difference between the ferries Seafrance Rodin, and sister Seafrance Berlioz?
-
Looking at the pictures, 4 but connected at the top?
RMS Carpathia has four masts connected at the top.
-
Yes, but connected with wire. In this new design, the masts curve and actually connect into one at the very top.
You can find the answer to my question very easily, just search for a front view image of each ship, and look at the bridges...
-
The Carpathia was somewhat different I think.. :)
-
The answer to my question, is that the Berlioz has black paint around her bridge windows, where the Rodin does not..
-
So it's anyone's go next... :)
-
What's the name of this ship?
-
Sea Sheperd
-
Incorrect, I'm afraid...
-
I think it is the sister of the Sea Sherperd
-
Sea Shepherd is the organization.. The ship, I think, is the Steve Irwin..
-
I think it's
R/V Farley Mowat former Ocean Warrior

Nathan is making us wait..I'm feeling a bit sleepy..

While we wait, new question:
This ship is based on the same design of the RMS Titanic. Name this ship. Hint: it is a fictional ship working for my company. Built in Louisville Ky, christened in San Francisco, Ca. Remember, it is fictional:
(http://i44.tinypic.com/117u2w7.jpg)
Bonus, Guess the program making the lights, and try to guess some of the features of this ship.
P.S. It is a bit blurred up so It could be Britannic 2, Olympic 2 or even Titanic 2. besides, they almost look alike.
-
Olympic 2.
-
Can we keep this to real ships, please?
-
Jonah, it is not Olympic 2, The answer is MS Titanic 2. The bonus was the program used to set the T2's lightning is the Google Sketchup Plugin Podium. And the features of the T2 is she has four smokestacks, two masts, and has three propellers with 6 blades on port and starboard screw and 8 blades on middle screw. You can blurrily see that the stern Promenade windows are brighter than the bow Promenade. Plus, The Olympic 2 was the only sister of 4(T2, B2, Titanicana, and O2) built in Liverpool, Uk. Anywho, since Jonah was close, He can go next. ;)

Nantucket Lightship 117 in early 1934.on May 15, 1934, she was rammed and sunk by the British White Star ship RMS Olympic in dense fog.[1] Four men went down with the ship and seven survivors were picked up by the Olympic. Three survivors later died of injuries sustained from the collision. The sunken wreck now lies hidden in 200 feet of water 50 miles south of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
-
Good Research :2thumbs: I actually saw the nlightship Nantucket (not sure which one) but it was steaming to New York Harbor and stayed there for the winter...an odd sight to see lightships still moving...also there is a lightship in the marina where I was boats its name is Winterquarter and was 132 feet long :thumbs: Very Neat to see and go in...ill have to get some pics...add it to my list ;)

What is the fastest *conventional monohull* vessel to ever have operated on the Dover Straits?
-
Speedone?
-
Speed One was a cat, my guess is SuperSeacat 1/2
-
Speed One was a cat, my guess is SuperSeacat 1/2
No TFM, although you are right about speedone being a cat!
I'm not sure if SSC1.2.3 count as conventional monohulls... I mean a large RoRo. Still serving on the Dover Straits.
Clue: Think about vessels former names... It was an appropriate name
-
I think they do count, but no worries,
well currently they aren't at full speed, but the Moliere was 28 knots when in service with Superfast...
-
Yes, its SF Molly. As much as I feel disloyal for travelling Sea Chance, instead of the British flag carrier, P&O, I think Sea Chance is giving a much better service overall- and cheaper.
The Molly is a fast boat all right; we left Dover quite late last Sunday and the crossing time was much quicker (shame we had to sit outside Calais until the PDCN had her elastic bands wound up :P )
Well done TFM
PS I thought below the water line the SSC1,2,3 were actually deep Vee and not conventional hulls... maybe I'm wrong- anyone know?

Okay,

Don't understand the question well... The clipper on the second image is the Flying Cloud - just like it's written in Mission Edidor about one tallship - if that's what you're asking.
-
Flying Cloud was built in 1851 in Boston, not in 1867 in Little Omaha, New Zealand as it says on the picture.

Luckily two tugs were able to push her back to the dock..

CaptainMike1 is correct with the QM2

Here's an easy one: What's the name of this liner, the 2nd famous in her times after the QE2?
I bet Mike knows this so lets leave this question for less enlightened people. ;)

Okay, I will leave it, but a clue for the others, I was a officer on the ship from 1970/71 and again in 1977

-

Both right.
Interesting to see what they say FM!
Two modern new vessels were built by Thornycrofts of Woolston, named Portsmouth Queen and Gosport Queen. They entered service in 1966, and have proved very reliable once some initial teething troubles were ironed out. Each vessel can carry 500 passengers, and enormous improvement on the earlier vessels, and the two new ships replaced the four previously required at peak periods. From 2006, Gosport Queen was no longer shown on the Gosport Ferry Company website, presumably withdrawn and providing spares for Portsmouth Queen which is still shown

I did look for it, but no result.. :)
Maybe this will help?

Maybe it will!!

That is such an unsatisfying answer, she is not called "there".. ;D
But you're right: the Jean de la Valette..
-

You know, SD - "Time is money!". I don't bother to read all that just to find the name...

New one: name of this nice looking cargo ship, built in 1961, nicknamed "The White Swan of the South Atlantic"
Also: where is she now..?
-
Cap San Diego, in Hamburg
-
That was quick..! Yes, she is now a maritime monument there.. :)
-
What's so special about her that she was & is famous?
-
I don't know if she is so famous, but for one thing, she was a very nice looking cargo-passenger ship I think..
Here's an interesting site: http://www.capsandiego.de/Summary/Information_in_English_History.html
-
I don't know if she is so famous, but for one thing, she was a very nice looking cargo-passenger ship I think..
That's why I'm asking - if she's not famous then why she's so famous on this forum because I see the question regarding her name has been already asked 5 or 7th time? ???
-
it's your go, remember..? ;)
-
Ok, here's an interesting one:
What's the name of the new cruise tallship that will be ready for sail in summer of 2010?
As officially said, when she enters the service she'll be the worlds largest tallship, beating the current record-holder, Star Clippers‘ Royal Clipper. :thumbs:
However Star Clippers is planning yet-unnamed new ship for a spring 2010 debut, which that company also claims will be the world’s largest full-rigged sailing ship

What cruise ship was christened yesterday in Southampton?
-
Celebrity Equinox
Buglers and a bagpipe and drum corps opened the naming ceremony for Celebrity Equinox in Southampton, followed by a piano rendition of the Beatles’ classic ‘Here Comes the Sun.’
The song paid tribute to godmother Nina Barough, CBE, founder of the breast cancer charity ‘Walk the Walk,’ whose ‘Sunwalks’ and ‘Moonwalks’ have raised $85m for the cause.
Sharon Smith, godmother of Equinox’s sister ship, Celebrity Solstice, took the stage by surprise to Barough, and both joined Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. chairman and ceo Richard Fain to cut the ribbon – symbolically, pink, in recognition of breast cancer causes. The ribbon threaded through the ship, ultimately releasing a large bottle of champagne that crashed against the stack.
The bottle was created by The Corning Museum of Glass, Celebrity Cruises’ partner in the first glassblowing show and demonstration at sea for Celebrity Solstice in 2008. Now Celebrity Equinox, too, will offer the ‘Hot Glass Show’ on board.
The ship enters revenue service on Friday with an eight-night Norwegian Fjords cruise, then returns to Southampton to begin its official maiden voyage Aug. 8 to the Mediterranean.
Celebrity Equinoix will sail from Civitavecchia through the autumn before repositioning to Port Everglades for the winter Caribbean season.

Don't know where WM has gone but know I was right.
New question, what is the name of these two ferries and where do they trade between?
-
Don't know where WM has gone but know I was right.
After all those infos you provided with, to say "Correct" was kinda unnecessary. :doh:
-
Didn't mean to offend, there might have been another one?
Anyway, have you workd out the new one or waiting for Ferry Man?
:captain: :captain: :captain:
-
I'll leave clueless question for TFM. ;)
-
It is not clueless, the clues are in the environment
-
What's the name of this excursion boat..?
( the first purpose-built excursion boat for Blue Funnel, she now continues service from Poole ) :)

I want to say Ocean Scene. :)
-
The boat is very different,(but the name is close.. :) )
-
Ocean Village, Ocean Way?
-
Ok, how about this one..?
(extra bonus if you get them both.. ;) )
-
This is proving to be a tough nut to crack, so here's another clue:
Both their names start with "Solent".. :)
-
I know what the second one is... I have been on her, but I don't have another question... :doh:
-
You would have an hour to think of one.. ;)
-
Okay then...
She is the Solent Cat
-
Right.. :) The first one is the Solent Scene..
Your go..
-
Okay, fairly easy...
What Company did the SS Cretic sail for (When she was the Cretic)

-
White Star Line, 1929
-
Correct :thumbs:
Your go
-
Great, (PoD is ready by the way....)
Which bulker is this and what is special about her?
-
I think that would be the Jahre Viking, and isn't she the largest vessel ever built? :)
-
I think that would be the Jahre Viking, and isn't she the largest vessel ever built? :)
Jahre Viking is ULCC (or FPSO at current time), not a bulker. ;)
-
Ah well...is he talking about the larger or smaller ship in that photo?
-
Ah well...is he talking about the larger or smaller ship in that photo?
The little ship is an inland bunker tanker, the big one - is a bulker & she's the biggest among all bulkers.
Clue:Goax were making a model of that bulker some time ago, that topic is №6 in "Top 10 Topics (by Views)" charts. ;D
-
Oh, I knew it! Berge Stahl!
-
Oh, I knew it! Berge Stahl!
:2thumbs: Your go, Shane...
-
Sure, what ship is this and what is special (or infamous) about her?
-
As there're nazis flags &
I almost went for the Wilhelm Gustloff, but decided against it.
So I came to an answer that it's indeed Wilhelm Gustloff
It sank after being hit by three torpedoes fired by the Soviet submarine S-13 on 30 January 1945 with the loss of around 9,000 lives – the greatest loss of life in a maritime disaster in history.
I'll skip my turn.
-
How many of these art objects are there on this ship..?

That's the QM2, and there are 8 of those on the bow?

That's right, SD. Perhaps without the former owner's name we'll have to wait for TFM & his final word. ;D
-
Untill then: what is the popular name for this type of vessel..? (extra bonus for name of ferry) :)
-
Catfoil ;D
-

Actually it's the first time I see a normal fast cat ferry like being "converted" in to hydrofoil. Nice idea though.
What's her name & type, who was the owner? It was like a French response to British SR.N4.
-
The Côte d'Argent, Sedam type N500, built for SNCF..

The Côte d'Argent, Sedam type N500, built for SNCF..

Here is a picture of the world's last coal-powered sea going paddle steamer..
Sadly she is now in a sorry state, though enthousiasts are trying to raise the cash to buy and restore her..
Built in 1936 for the Southern Railways, she entered service a year later as a ferry in the Solent region.
Shortly thereafter she was commandeerd for the war effort, and is one of the few remaining vessels that took part in the D-Day landings
What is her name..?

Ok, so what's the name of this miserable ferry that was owned by HML?
-
This one...? ;)
I'll leave the name to someone else..

Yep, that's the one! :) Too bad that TFM couldn't get that earlier...

I haven't mentioned the name.. :)

You should ask that question again sometime WM, just for jazzy.. ;D

So our train goes back to station where we left Jazzy... ;D

London?
Nope. Cardiff. All vessels are registered in Cardiff, but have dispensation to have 'London', 'Dover' etc painted on the hull...
Sorry. Another trick Q
-
Jazzy, that station has long passed.. ;)
And so has the question of the Ulysees... Look back and I think you'll see it's been the subject of a question twice before...

What were they..? :)
Forgive my ingnorance, but which ship is this... (bracing himself for the sniggering from the ship nutters... :D)
-
It is the SS United States.
-
New one: which cargo-passenger ship is this, and what is special about her..?
Clue: her name begins with RMS........
Second clue: she sails between Capetown-St Helena-Ascension.. ;)
Final clue: last of her kind in the world..
-
Here name is St Helena but there is a lot of special things with her and she is one of the last ships to have the designation royal mail ship :)
-
Well, I practically spelled it out..Yes, the last traditional mail ship..
Your go.. :)
"RMS St Helena Saved
May 27: RMS St Helena is saved. Originally it was expected that the RMS St Helena, the last traditional mail ship in the world, was to be retired from service by the British Government and the St Helena Government in 2010 following completion of the new airport on St Helena. The ship is operated on behalf of the two Governments by Andrew Weir Shipping and sails from Cape Town to St Helena and Ascension Island. On occasion it also sails on the classic mail ship voyage from Portland to Cape Town via St Helena and Ascension Island. However it was recently confirmed to me by sources close to Andrew Weir Shipping that the RMS St Helena in fact will not be retired in 2010. This is because, due to the economic crisis, work on constructing the new airport has been significantly delayed and now will not be completed until 2019/2020. As a result the RMS St Helena will continue in service until at least 2019/2020 and possibly longer. So this last traditional mail ship sails on!
We are delighted by this good news and wish the RMS St Helena every success and it seems she has at least another decade of service. We would encourage people to patronise her voyages as much as they can in order to support this fine ship and her classic voyage experience. For further information on the RMS St Helena visit: www.rms-st-helena.com. (Sent in by Alex Naughton)."

wich is the best powered ferry of the world ;D
-
When i write this clue the name is on the frontpage of the forum but i don't tell were ;)
-
I don't quite get what you mean by best powered...? ???
-
Simply the best powerd ferry the ferry has that as one of her rcords and i havesaid that the name is on the front page at the moment you just need to look for it :2thumbs:
-
I just had a look at the front page (I think)..
Do you mean the Red Jet 4..? :)
-
Simply the best powerd ferry the ferry has that as one of her rcords
From those words it could be probably the GTS Finnjet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTS_Finnjet).
At the time of her delivery, Finnjet was the fastest, longest and largest car ferry in the world, and the only one powered by gas turbines. At the point of her scrapping in 2008, she remained the fastest conventional ferry in the world, with a recorded top speed of 33.5 knots.
-
Corekt here yours have the sentense best powerd ferry http://www.finnjetweb.com/ go to records and here is an pic with deskribes where on the front pae it stands.
-
Hehe A tricky one, VH. But I was sure that you're about Finnjet, because you're a big fan of her & all those Baltic ferries... ;)
I'll skip my turn in favour of SD.

Ok, I have a nice one here.. :)

Oh, so I was right?
Ok, what ship was the first American Vessel to win the Blue Riband? Also list what year she won, and what her fate was. :)
-
SS Sirius
(http://i28.tinypic.com/14uz8t1.jpg)
SS Sirius, circa 1838: The Cork Steam Ship Company's 700 ton, 320-horsepower 'Sirius' built in 1837. She crossed from Cork to New York in April 1838. She has paddle, steam and sails.
Date 1838
The British and American Steam Navigation Company was a pre-Cunard steamship line that operated a regular transatlantic service from 1839 to 1841. Before its first purpose-built Atlantic liner, the British Queen was completed, British and American chartered the Sirius for two voyages in 1838 to beat the Great Western Steamship Company into service. B & A's regular liners were larger than their rivals, but were underpowered. The company collapsed when its second vessel, the President was lost in 1841.

Mike Carr in 1997
http://www.sscanberra.com/appgmasters.htm
Another "well done WM". A little point of interest, Cpt. Carr was all very "sad ending to a fine ship... sorry to see her go... blah, blah".... Then overheard in a private conversation "glad to see the back of the rusty old bas**rd"
-
Surely he meant the "rusty old b**ch".. ;D
-
Surely he meant the "rusty old b**ch".. ;D
Yeah, the rusty old beach... Sounds very romantic. ;D

New one! What's her name?
Clue: name is very famous...

Also, what was (ironically) her former function..?

Apart from the hull-colour, what did these ships have in common..?
-
They both float
-
Last clue: original names Euginio C and Oceanic..
-
Only found that Eugenio C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenio_C) was later named The Big Red Boat II... What's so special about that? ???
-
Then the other is called The Big Red Boat I? ;D
-
At the time (Premier Cruise Line) they were both named Big Red Boat.. (I and II) ;D
Anyone to go next..
-
Ok, here's an extremely easy one... Which is good, cause I cannot handle much more than that..! ;D
What's her name?

:doh:
TFM, in 2008 Captain Best & TJK were running a virtual company called "Red Star Line" (RSL). They were very proud of it. Then Kapn Jonah came up with his version - "Blue Star Line" (BSL) & then all the others with Star Lines of different colours. BSL, RSL, WSL were real companies too. ;)
-
Here's a new one: name of this ship.., built in 1966

So they never actually owned the boats, but made virtual companies with the same name as the real company which did?

Exactly.

257,157,031.745 X E-45 exactly.

That's a bit morbid, isn't it? Shouldn't this game be a bit more lighthearted, not about calculating the numbers of life's lost in tragic accidents? :-\

Fred, if once Matt5674 created a topic "Rate that event!" with 10/10 for the most tragic event - what else we can think & say!
-
Which ship is this, and why is she in the news..?
-
Is that the ship that has mysteriously disappeared
Arctic Sea, it think it is called...
-
That's right FerryMan, no one knows where she is..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/8196583.stm

It is very mysterious...
She was attacked by Pirates earlier on...

It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness.. ;)
For me it's fun to search for answer than search an image for the question. ;)

Sure, what ship is this, who built her, and what year was she built and who are her current owners?
-
"Balmoral" built 1949 by J. I. Thornycroft & Co. Ltd. - Southampton, yd no 4120. Waverley Excursions Ltd.
-
It is the Balmoral
built: 1949
Now owned by the Waverley Group (I think, or Paddle Steamer Preservation Society)
Edit: Drat too late
-
Your turn, Quaysider. :)
-
Name this vessel - and the bonus is explain what is happening...
-
Arctic Corsair
On 14 Sept 1967 she collided with the Collier Olive off Dunscansby Head whilst heading home from Greenland, both vessels headed for Wick but the Arctic Corsair had to be beached to save her, she had temporary repairs and returned to Hull.
If I was right - anyone to go. :)
-
Right vessel - but the photo is much more recent. She is shown being towed into the River Hull to her current berth as a floating museum to deep sea fishing on 22/07/97. And if you get the chance to visit her it is well worth it!
-
Surely you can think of a new one WM.. After all, the nature of the game is answer and question... :)

Freedom Ship.
It is to be a floating city, larger than every ship in the world
-
i thought the jahre viking was??????
-
It is the current largest Oil Tanker. Queen Mary 2 for Cruiser, and a Maesrk ship for Container, but the Freedom Ship will be the largest of the large, large enough to have it's own airport, like the CVN65 (USS Enterprise). Plus, I know it is Freedom Ship tore, cause the small ship next to Freedom Ship, the size comparison between Queen Elizabeth 2 znd Freedom Ship. I also see this pic in the Virtual Sailor Addon, Freedom Ship. ;D
-
ok your turn then matt
-
What Tanker sank in the Lake Superior?
Hint: When it was launched, it hit the dock, and it is a American Tanker registered in Milwaukee, Winsconson.

Which ferry is this?
-
It looks more like a RoRo than a ferry.
There (http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=961292)
-
I thought a RoRo was a ferry?
And yes it is the MV Birka Express ;)
-
A RoRo can be a ferry, but not allways.. ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RORO
-
Well, I also was mistaking RoRo & ferries. On Shipspotting they have separate categories for RoRo & Passenger vessels -> Ferries. So you can't say that (http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=961326) this ship is a ferry, for example. ;)
What's her name?
-
Saga Rose
-
Nope
-
Sagafjord?
-
Yep
-
Anyone to go now, I have to go to Rotterdam to catch the ferry..
-
Busy guy! ;D
-
Well, if you gotta go, you gotta go.. ;)
New one: name of this cruise-liner, built in 1956..
-
Maybe this will ease the search: here she is now, a restaurant ship in Toronto..
-
I mean it's a boring sad ship. SD, find something more interesting for search!
-
As the 2 hours are up, I await your next interesting question.. ;)
-
That isn't nice to say WM; He's trying to keep this alive.
You could contribute by playing the game.
Where do you get them SD ?
The restaurant was the link that hit bottom
MS Jadran :doh:
-
thanks eviss, I knew the restaurant clue would give the answer..
Your go.. :)
-
I have sailed on her in 1997, in the Caribean
She finally sailed for the breakers late 2003.
What is here name as she was called last.
-
Which ferry was this..?
She was acquired while Red Falcon and Red Osprey were being lengthened in Poland in 2003-2004..
-
Bergen Castle
I never edited this to change my answer

Nordfjord

cptnchris, you're not capn_cal. ;)
???
-
My guess would be the MF Kvernes..
-
Ok, time for a Dutch ferry.. :)
The name..?
-
Sier
Ugly funnels though
-
Not the MS Sier..
-
Then a sister ship of her.
-
Close enough..It's the MS Oerd..
-
Ugly ferry anyway. :P More reminds me about this building:
-
My guess would be the MF Kvernes..
Correct well done!
What's the name of this Ferry?
-
New day, new question.. :)
What is this..?
-
Upside down street grate.
-
The Air inlet/outlet of a hovercraft?
???
-
Probably a bow thruster on icebreaker - it can turn & give out water through those outlets to push the broken ice away from the bow or something like that. ???
-
This is on the inside..
And how it works..
-
What is that?? ?
-
Thats helpful, not.
-
A/C Outlet?
-
Still looks like the Lift fan of a hovercraft...
-
The system is especially suited for shallow-draft vessels, such as ferries.. ;)
-
:o ???
I don't know what it is...
Put us out of our misery...
:(
-
Just lets go back to Chantal's house, TFM. ;)

Here's a proper one for an expert (incl. you):
What's the name of this containership & what's special about her?
-
NORILSKIY NIKEL - built for the Northern passage and also built in parts in two different countries.
-
NORILSKIY NIKEL - built for the Northern passage and also built in parts in two different countries.
Correct, but that's only the half of the question. ;)
(http://www.ship-technology.com/projects/ms-norilskiy/images/6-artic-express.jpg)
-
She's a ice breaker and a ship in 1.
The Norilskiy Nickel has two bridges, depending on the direction of travel.
-
Looks like a combined cargoship-icebreaker..
To break ice she travels "backwards"..
-
That's right, she's a double acting arctic container ship. :)
-
Quaysider got the name, and Cat got the special thing..It's your call WM.. :)
-
Moving along: the name of this ship, and near which town is she at the moment..?

Of course I know this one, I have seen her several times!
It is the Cote d'Albatre berthed in Dieppe
;D

Correct.
But anyway, I bet he searched a lot before proudly answering. ;D
-
No, I had a feeling you were just being modest FM.. :D
-
Modest... Me??
Besides answer is also above the Starboard Bridge Wing, though unless you new before hand, you wouldn't spot it easily...

I hate Answers that are just links... :evil:
-
I'm glad that if only SD loves that. ;D
I'm off to watch WWE now, so anyone to go.
-
I'm no fan of links, but sometimes it invites people to read more about an answer.. :)
New one: what's the name of this ferry..?
-
That one! (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MF_Stavangerfjord.jpg)

I think WM said it to get out of posting a question...
-
Ok, what is this propeller-assembly called, commonly found on tugs..?

Azimuth Pod

No, not azimuth pod..

Turnable Kort Nozzle. BTW, Igor K. should have it instead of rudders ::)

Kort Nozzle is the magic word.. :)

I don't know how original Igor K. would be with steering KN's.. ;)

Well, Igor k. was just like a project of common Russian tug (mainly of a tug of 492 project). No idea why they left the original propulsion. It could add a sufficient variety in SS's tug fleet. ::)
From what I saw in our port - captains usually steer those tugs via CPP than Kort Nozzles.

WM, I have had three Notifications that you have posted...yet I find nothing... :thumbdown:

-
Name of this liner, that entered service in 1966, and now sails with a different name..
-
Aleksandr Pushkin (now Marco Polo). Liners that were built in USSR are pretty recognizable by their look.
-
I suppose they are..
It's pretty special though that a 40-year old liner is still sailing.. :)
Your go..
-
Indeed they are. ;)
What's her name?
Clue: Mike's favourite site.
-
What is the name of this future "most advanced polar research-vessel in the world", scheduled to launch in 2014..?

Try to answer the name of that ugly grey ship or else anyone to go.
-
where is the home port of this ship? (http://www.cruising.org.au/filelibrary/images/Cruiselines/ncl/PO%20America.jpg)
-
That ship should really be posted in the ugly ship topic instead... What a strange look of the front of the superstructure.
Anyway, 100% guess. Ft Lauderdale

Where did this ferry call recently?

I know the Answer, but I don't have a question...

Correct, your turn
;D :doh: ;D Hahahaha.. made my day..

;D :doh: ;D Hahahaha.. made my day..
Glad, didn't make FM smile tho'
::) ::) ::)
-
It did actually :) ;)
-
Btw, here's a slight mishap when the PoA was built..
Did someone get carried away with the ballast trim tanks?
-
No Stu,
It could be more serious than that.
Btw, here's a slight mishap when the PoA was built..
At the night to 14th January 2004 the ship sank during a hurricane at the equipment jetty, Pride of America was flooded up to the third deck, listed 15 degrees and sank to the bottom of the shallow 11-meter deep water-bed - an accident, which excited attention also because of its symbol strength.
-
Found it on this site..
http://cargolaw.com/2000nightmare_singlesonly6.html

Thanks Eviss
I will steer well clear though. A ship that will sink in a storm when in harbour is not a ship I want to be in the middle of an ocean on. :o
-

I could not agree more, Erik
Could be being at the wrong place at the wrong moment thought ?
-
If no answer in 10 min, I shall save this one for tomorrow.. :)
Could be a good idea. It is getting rather late now...
-
What's the name of this Boeing 747-looking cruise ship?
Giving one of the ex-names will be much appreciated. ;)

How does that look like a Boeing 747? :doh:
(http://www.airplane-pictures.net/images/uploaded-images/2009-7/12/53315.jpg)

Was it built before 1994?

-
Is it the AidaBlu?
(http://www.das-reisebuero.de/acononCMS/upload/AIDAblu_gesamtansicht.jpg)
Absolutely correct! It's indeed him (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php?action=profile;u=10444)! :doh:
-
names before Aidablu: Crown Princess, Arosa Blu.. Current name Ocean Village 2..
Couldn't find her in white, did you repaint her..? ;)
Funny that that was Borky's post #747.. So it's HMS Borky's turn.. :)
-
names before Aidablu: Crown Princess, Arosa Blu.. Current name Ocean Village 2..
Couldn't find her in white, did you repaint her..? ;)
She's a Pacific Dawn (http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=934286) now. ;)
Seems like Aidablu haven't updated his name for a long time! ;D
-
Okay, waht ship is it?
-
The Diamond Princess..? :)
-
How does that look like a Boeing 747? :doh:
If you close your eyes (and block your ears) then they are almost identical...
Incidentally, look how the reverse thrust is operational whilst the nose is still up in the air...
-
The Diamond Princess..? :)
Yes it´s the Daimond Princess ;)
It´s you turn
-
Which sister ships are passing each other here..? :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Michelangelo
Your go.. ;)
-
Ok, what's the name of this cruise ship that once long time ago I saw in our fishing port? (Yeah, to see cruise ships here is a very rare thing, like 2 - 4 times in 10 years.)
-
Clue ;D
-
the MS Columbus... ;D
In December last year she put off her 246 passengers and most of her crew in Yemen, and flew them to Dubai to
spare them the risk of encountering pirates in the Gulf of Aden..
-
Yep, it's the C. Columbus. Perhaps giving a clue for you was pretty early. ;D Your go.
-
Yes, the clue did the trick.. ;)
Name of this beautifull tallship..
-
Should I answer it or should I kindly leave it for other members?
-
Maybe wait an hour.. ;)
-
Maybe wait an hour.. ;)
Yeah, besides my late lunch is already waiting me for 2 hours! :doh:

ARM Cuauhtémoc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cuauht%C3%A9moc
-
That's right, one of the largest tall ships in the world..
Your go.. :)
-
Mexicans always have giant flags too!! Seen her at IFOS in Portsmouth a couple of years ago and the flag dwarfed the ship!
Whats the name of this one then?
-
Not bothering with small images.
-
Christian Radich
Wasn't that hard Wave ;D
-
Well, there're a lot of white 3-masted ships & I didn't thought that Mike will be asking several times about one & the same ship. ???

Name of this ship please and where she was berthed?

-
Is that the Maersk Exporter and taking a wild guess - Dublin?
Half right, it's actually Belfast!
Near enough, your go.............................
-
What's the name of this newish ship?
-
Never seen that line before..I like it..! ;D

Close enough Mike, it's the Maas Viking ;)
-
Close enough Mike, it's the Maas Viking ;)
-
Rules are rules, WM.. :)
Unless Mike had made it clear he wasn't posting a new one,(if so, that would have been sport), it's still his go..
-
Looks like Mike is giving this a miss, anyone to go next.. :)
-
Name this sad ship!
-
That could be anything, WM...give us a clue.. :)
-
Ok, here's a not-very-easy clue:
(http://www.oceanlinermuseum.co.uk/MS%20Willem%20Ruys.JPG)
-
i still have no idea... butis it Rotterdam Lloyd’s MS Sibajak – launched 1928 ???
-
Hmm, Sibajak had a taller funnel..
-
Willem Ruys? lol ;D
-
WM is offline now :P we dont know
-
He is always offline, lurking behind the board ;D
-
Now that was so hard to understand the clue!
Clue: Willem Ruys was owned later by the same company as that main sad ship. Knowing the company & the simplonpc site you can find the name of that sad ship.
-
He is one of the "Hidden Ones"., wearing the "Cloak of Invisibility".. ;D
-
Oceanos ???
-
Now that was so hard to understand the clue!
Clue: Willem Ruys was owned later by the same company as that main sad ship. Knowing the company & the simplonpc.co.uk site you can find the name of that sad ship.
-
Can you drop a link?
-
Achille Lauro of Lauro Lines and Starlauro ? the link is simplonpc.co.uk ballast
-
No comment. :-X
SD, maybe you - the enlightened one - will take them out of the misery?
-
PLEASE!
-
It's the Ravello (1947-1971) Achille Lauro's first passenger carrying cargo ship..
-
ohhhh..... .. .. .. . well, who is next?
-
I don't have one ready at the moment, so why don't you go..? :)
-

Well, it is late, can't blame Mike for turning in..
Time for you guys on the other side of the pond to take over.. :)
-
SD, that's true. But I noticed that when we're sleeping here - they're usually not responsible for their watch.
-
Things do tend to get a bit slow when the Americans are at pitch.. ;D
-
ok then what is the name of this ferry???
-
Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there? :o Better give us a clue - TFM is in bed & can't come to the rescue till morning.
-

-
Then it's Peter Pan
-

That's right, Mike - It's Opel Astra, hence the liner's name is Astra as well. :thumbs:
I'm Chantal! >:(

-
You get to post an extra interesting question... ;D
-
Kong Harald and she is off Norway, 62 degrees 24 mins 24 secs North, 6 degrees 19 minutes 53 secs East

Can you at least put the name f the vseesl as the link and not 'there'?
'There' is not the vessel...

Actually she was there in Diamant's times, I think.
-
Actually she was there in Diamant's times, I think.
Sacrilage! :o

Naturally TFM wouldn't be happy with that :P
I have to say I don't mind the way it looks :lol: Anybody care to post a new one?

Sacrilage! :o
But if Diamant returns back - that ugly ferry will be in that topic in 2 counts! :thumbs:

Just I'm in a sad mood & I see everything around through sadness. ;D
Great WM is depressed...

It's just your melancholy nature.. ;)

-
What's the name of this beauty?
-
Seabourn Pride (http://www.seabourn.com/YourYachts/Pride/)
-
Wrong, the name is not 'That One'
-
We need a correct answer to the previous question first. When the owner of a website the link won't work and so historians looking here in 100 years time won't know what the answer was!!
-
What's her name?
-
At least wipe the name off...
Pride of Hampshire, returning from Cherbourg in Portsmouth
What happened to the Cruise Liner...?
TFM: I'm told there is a way to tell that tub apart from the PO Cherbourg (as was then)- they were suffered from ugly rebuild syndrome, so how did you tell it apart?
-

I read the name ;D
I will look at some pics to see if I can spot any differences
-
Ah. I saw a reference to blanking out the name, but I didn't think he actually left the name visible (looking on an old PC with poor graphics card you see...)
I know there is the 'I can tell the PO Dover and PO Calais apart by the bridge roof...But didn't know the Cherbourg and Hampshire difference. Ugly ships. Did you ever travel on them?
-
No. Only travelled from Portsmouth once, and that was on a minicruise to Bilbao, but that didn't go so good :thumbdown:
-

Never went on the Fortuny, sadly.
No, am sure the boat was fine, it was me that was the problem. By the time I got to the boat I managed to get the Flu! So A great mini cruise was wasted... :(

Without wishing to go OT, last time I was on POBI it was having a few technical issues and it wasn't really a good trip. I said I would try the AT service next time, but it was withdrawn and TBH I still have a loyalty to P&O ::) (Except at Dover, when I go to Calais in one environment, as it is very expensive and SeaFrance seems to be pipping them in the quality at the moment) (Oh, and I refuse to go on a British registered ship that sails under an EU flag!)
Sorry for the OT.
-
So, this one is still in play by WM.. :)
-
It's Le Diamant right there (http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=920262). SD, care to go next?

You won't believe, but I searched everywhere by all possible key words! :P

You won't find her in "the usual places"..
(another clue in 20min) ;)
-
Perhaps a very special ship then.
-
She is now preserved as a casino and restaurant ship in France.. ;)
-
Ok, take №2.
-
She is our favourite "sad ship"... ;D
-
OMG, SD! Is it that sad ship again?! :o

Here's an easier one, this nice ocean liner, built in 1936..

From 1936-1958 she sailed for the Union Castle Line with a different name..
When sold in 1958 she was substantially rebuilt in Rotterdam..

EDIT
Not Explorer, was it??? ???

(http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/01kmb9VebLa8S/610x.jpg)
Does she look like the Explorer?
-
[img width=610 height=441]http://cDoes she look like the Explorer?
Two small-ish ships with red hulls and white structure? No. Not at all. I can't imagine how I could have mistaken them.
Since they aren't ships of Dover-Calais in the same environment I have to admit it was only a guess.
-
Another clue - research ship/icebreaker with the same name on other language:
-
No need to shout here, Stuart..

What's her name? Built in 1922...
-
My time shows it is 2 hours since that question wasn't answered so I will go next:
I edited this picture to hide the ship (Most of it). Guess this ship and try to guess her company, tender ship, sister ships rival ships, and the year it was built and the year she had a fate.

Rangitiki, well done WM.
Your turn!
-
Take #2
What's the name?
-
That's a sad ship! No one knows her name... :-\
-
The Cunard liner Slavonia was the first ship to....?, on June 10 1909..
-
The Cunard liner Slavonia was the first ship to....?, on June 10 1909..
Send an S.O.S.
-
That's right..Before then, the CQD signal was used..
Your go..
-
OK what is the name of the car ferry that takes people from nova scotia to New Brunswick
-
The Princess of Acadia..?
-
OK what is the name of the car ferry that takes people from nova scotia to New Brunswick
The Cat
-
The first ship to transmit an SOS signal was the Cunard liner Slavonia, built in 1903
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS
I don't know about The Cat.. :)
-
Sorry, I thought that was an answer to my yesterday's question. :doh: Not in the wise mind on mornings.
-
The first ship to transmit an SOS signal was the Cunard liner Slavonia, built in 1903
I thought the first ship to use the distress code "Save Our Ship" (SOS) was Titanic, But I don't know if a Cunarder or any other ships used SOS before Titanic. But I heard in a deleted scene from Titanic (1997) showed they used the "new" SOS signal.
-
At that period, as I understand, the SOS signal was fairly new, and many marconists still used the old CQD signal
Titanic sent both CQD and SOS signals..(as well as flares)
-
Here's a fairly easy one: where is this..?
-
I'll make a guess:
Panama Canal
-
Good guess.. :thumbs:
-
About time we had a new one, which ship is this?
-
About time we had a new one, which ship is this?

Wave Music actually posted this:
Quote
Prinsessan (1) was built in 1957 by Helsingör Skips & Maskinbygg A/S, Helsingör, as the Princesse Margrethe of DFDS. Her sister ship was Kong Olav V, which became Birka Line's Baronessan.
But it seems to have disappeared, so really it's his turn.

Are we going to be getting a answer?

Please clarify the question..I'm confused now.. :)
-
Where was the aforementioned photograph of the Fortuny taken...?
-
Where was the aforementioned photograph of the Fortuny taken...?
And with whom?
...I'm shy to answer that question. :doh:
-
You mean the Sorolla..?
-
...I'm shy to answer that question. :doh:
That was NOT my question, The pictuire was of the Fortuny on her own, no other vessel was shown, otherwise it would be too easy...
No it is the Fortuny
-
The last page PG 118 belongs in Joke of the day :doh:
-
Ok, I make a guess: arriving in Barcelona.. :)
-
No.
-
Ok, I make a guess: arriving in Barcelona.. :)
Actually I already answered about where she arrived.
-
Just to get things clear: could you please post that picture again..?
-
Actually I already answered about where she arrived.
Where...
Okay, another pic...
-
What kind of question is that..?
She is in the water, that's where she is.. ::)
-
I am trying to make the questioon not too easy...
Okay think of her previous routes, and the fact I have never been to the Mediterranean, and I took the pic...
-
Ok, enough this fun! She's in Dover - a usual place where Ferryman meets his ferries.
-
Ok, enough this fun! She's in Dover - where Ferryman meets his ferries.
Wrong...
-
New one: what is this type of vessel called..?
-
Grande Africa Class
-
Not Grande Africa Class.. :)
-
Half ferry and half cargo ship. :)
-
Luke-warm.. ;)
-
RORO ship
-
Warmer.. ;D
-
On the interweb, shes classed as cargo...
-
Interweb, I love it..but cargo is not the name I'm looking for.. :)
-
ROROpax
-
She is a ConRo vessel, a hybrid between a RoRo and a container ship..
For your perseverance, you go next Cat.. :)
-
What is her name and what was her fate
-
C: It ran in canada. :)
-
What was this ship's first name, subsequent names including the present one and what was she most infamous for?
-
Interesting stern near the waterline - perhaps they fitted her with azipods?
-
No azipods, the "duck-tail" was later added to aid her stability.. :)
-
Ah, just like it was with the Georg Ots ferry.
-
Ah, just like it was with the Georg Ots ferry.
WM, You should have got the answer by now! A very infamous ship!
-
I got the answer, but I think it would be interesting to keep this staying for a while for the less enlightened people.
-
One of the reasons she was infamous,she was known in maritime history as the "Worst Roller of the North Atlantic" ;)
But perhaps you mean an unfortunate accident that occured under an older name..
-
Ok, from front to back: Athena, Caribe, Valtur Prima, Italia Prima, Italia, Fridtjof Nansen, Volker, Völkerfreundschaft, Stockholm..
On July 25 1956, as the Stockholm, she collided with the Andrea Doria..It was one of the most famous maritime disasters

New one: name of this ship, specialized in this kind of transport..

I'm sure it's the RMS this one (http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/yacht-transport-ships-dockwise/8995-special-feature-dockwise-685-yacht-express.html) or that one (http://www.superyachttimes.com/editorial/16/article/id/2147)!.
-
I very much doubt she is a Royal Mail Ship..
But she is indeed the semi-submersible Yacht Express..
Here's an interesting link about her..http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/yacht-transport-ships-dockwise/8995-special-feature-dockwise-685-yacht-express.html

Right..Unfortunately she is so badly damaged, she is declared a total loss..
Your go..
-
Name this ferry:
-
SeaFrance Moliere or any of her sisters.
-
Seems like a green light to me.. :)
-
That is indeed the Moliere :thumbs:
-
And I was in doubt that it could be also the SeaFrance Rhodin or SeaFrance Berliot or don't know how it called right.
Anyones go.

Name of this one, built in 1957.

A slight misunderstanding of the word "then"..
I meant "at the time", you meant "afterwards"..
Indeed the Willem Ruys later became the Achille Lauro.. :)

Originally built as the Finlandia (then Finnstar, Pearl of Scandinavia, Ocean Pearl, Pearl, Costa Playa, Oriental Pearl, Joy Wave, Golden Princess) for the route Helsinki-Copenhagen-Travemünde, which was marketed as Finlandia Line. In 1978 Finlandia was converted to a cruise ferry and renamed Finnstar... In 1981 she was converted into a luxury cruise ship...
Go, Ferryman!

Why is it RMS Queen Mary 2 and not MS Queen Mary 2?
-
Why is it RMS Queen Mary 2 and not MS Queen Mary 2?
RMS is Royal Mail Steamer
MS is Mail Steamer
I guess that the QM2 still carries Mail, so has the luxury of being RMS
-
correct :thumbs:
-
How thick was KMS Bismarck's hull?
-
Yours was the Ascania, WM.. ;)
-
It's FerryMan's go now, VS..He anwered your question correctly.. ;D

Yours was the Ascania, WM.. ;)
Correct. Hence it's your go as well.

MS is Mail Steamer
MS is Motor Ship.. :)

MS is Motor Ship.. :)
I knew that...
I meant to type that...

Just kidding FM, otherwise there would be an awfull lot of mailships around... ;D
So it's your go..

Your go, FM.. :)
Okay, I will just get a question sorted

So what is this ship, and what was her first use as...?

Either the Random of the Seas or the Spirit of Unknowness, I think.
-
Either the Random of the Seas or the Spirit of Unknowness, I think.

It was taken in Southampton...

Looks like "Shieldhall" - originally a sludge (effluent) carrier on the Clyde. Now preserved, still in steam at Southampton.

The Scandinavian Star..caught on fire in 1990..

It is the Scandinavian Star :)
-
Um, VS, it is SD's turn.
You have to answer a question to post one
-
You don't seem to understand VS, you only get to ask a new question if you answer correctly to the question in play.. :)
-
And I have to wait for the green light from Quaysider.. ;)
-
Well, its the Scandinavian Star :thumbs:
-
It is customary for the questioneer to give the go-ahead..(unless the answer is clearly correct,) :)
-
Well, we know the asnwer soon.....
-
It appears Quaysider has left us, so here's the new one:
What type of rudder is this..?
-
Sort of an azimuth propulsion :-\
-
Close VS, but this type of rudder has a special name.. :)
-
The so-called "active rudder", was very often used on Russian trawlers.
-
Not the name I'm looking for.. :)
-
Sorry - still waiting for the correct answer to mine...
-
Quite right Quaysider, your question is still in play..
So I gather Scandinavian Star was incorrect..
-
Suspended active rudder?
-
Let's leave mine for later WM, Quaysiders question is still on.. ;)
-
Quite right Quaysider, your question is still in play..

Correct - she was the Scandinavian Star but not under that name in this photo...
-
The Regal Voyager :doh:
-
Couldn't find any pictures of the Regal Voyager, so I'm going with the Massalia.. :)
-
The Ship had the names: Massalia, Stena Baltica, Island Fiesta, Candi, Regal Voyager, Regal V and Scandinavian Star.
-
Why don't you go next VS,? the 2 hours are up anyway.. ;D
-
Where does the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 go this year.
-
Dubai as a fixed Hotel ship
-
almost, but that's incorrect.
Besides the QE2 is like a year now in Dubai :thumbs:
-
SD, but what about that sad rudder? I read in all books it goes as "active rudder". Or you mean it was named after it's inventor?
-
No meant to be rude but, can my question go first plz...
The rudder comes after the right answer
-
Cape Town.. :)
article (http://business.maktoob.com/20090000008016/QE2_set_for_Cape_Town_2010_World_Cup/Article.htm)
-
DING DING DING!!! CORRECT!!!
On July 10, 2009 it was revealed that QE2 may sail to Cape Town, South Africa to become a floating hotel (for use primarily during the 2010 FIFA World Cup), in a Dubai World sponsored venture at the V&A Waterfront.
This was confirmed by Nakheel on July 20, 2009
In preparation for this expected voyage the ship was placed into the Dubai Dry-dock and underwent an extensive exterior refurbishment. During this refit, the ship's underwater hull was repainted and inspected.
Shortly after her refit QE2 was registered under the flag of Vanuatu and Port Vila (her new home port) was painted on her stern, replacing the word Southampton.
She has since returned to Port Rashid where it is anticipated she will soon sail for Cape Town. The arrival of QE2 in Cape Town is expected to create many local jobs (as the ship will arrive with only a mechanical crew) including Hotel staff, Restaurant staff, chefs, cleaners and shop attendants all being sourced from the local workforce[
-
How this rudder is commonly known.. :)
-
The inventor is Tracor Marine in 1973. This invention was first used for the ship R/V H.J.W. Fay
-
I guess you were closest by calling it an "active rudder" WM..
The official name is a Pleuger Rudder..
http://www.bowatersteamshipcompany.no-ip.com/page13.html
-
Was just going to say that PLEUGER RUDDER :doh:
-
LOL.. ;D Well, WM has one hour to post a new one..After that, anyone can go.. :)
-
LOL.. ;D Well, WM has one hour to post a new one..After that, anyone can go.. :)
I predict...
WM will have no new question...

-
What was the name of the last U-boat (from WWI to WWII) ever produced?
-
I see bushes.. ;)
-
huh?
-
A little joke, WM and FM know.. ;D
-
ah, no problem :lol:
-
A little joke, WM and FM know.. ;D
I do?
-
So how about it WM, you got a new one..?
-
I guess you were closest by calling it an "active rudder" WM..
The official name is a Pleuger Rudder..
http://www.bowatersteamshipcompany.no-ip.com/page13.html
Never heard of that one though.
And yes, it's anyone's go.
-
Ok, so your question is GO VS, about the last U-boat.. :)
-
I just placed a question: What was the name the last German U-boat (from WWI to WWII) ever produced.
-
See you've all been busy while I've been on MP - the correct answer to my question is "Candi" - she arrived at Hull in August 1990 (as attached) as "Scandinavian Star" for removal of debris. However she was soon moved to Southampton where the name was shortened to "Candi" , where the photo was taken.
-
Not really fair... she had more names and the appearences are the same when she had those names.
-
Usually the correct answer is the name of the ship as shown in the picture.. :) Quaysider has a point..
-
that's true...
Can we go back to my question?
-
There are clues in the pic VS - no lifeboats, still very scarred, the port background - all of which point to a part of her life that was distinctive...
-
When i first saw that picture i thought it was taken a few years ago... I thought it was repaired firedamage.
but that night.... Unbelievable the ship didn't had any smockdetectors :-\
The firealarm was to soft of sound and the paint wasn't fireproof so cyianide toxains where released
-
Also, one of the fires was believed to have been set on purpose..
-
indeed...
By the way, the answer to my question is U-4712
-
Yes, just getting to that.. :)
http://www.uboat.net/boats/u4712.htm
Anyone to go next..
-
Name of this ship, built in 1947:
-
That question has been stretched since early afternoon.. :)
New one: name of this cruise ship..?
-
Wind Star
-
Correct..Your go.. ;D
-
Name of this ship, built in 1947:
("Portuguese Liners" on Simplonpc)
-
::)
It is very tiresome when the same question is shown repeatedly - if no one has answered in the allotted time it may be because we simply do not know - it would be much better to provide the answer than just repeat the question again and again...
-
I agree to some extent Quaysider..However, because a question is not answered doesn't mean it is too hard..
Perhaps not enough people are online, aren't interested, or simply can't be bothered to look for the answer..
WM has now given a fool-proof clue..If nobody gets it now, it's time for a new one surely.. :)
-
Do you want me to repost it again? ;D
-
Please not.. ;D It's Ganda.. (nice paintings there)
-
Please not.. ;D It's Ganda.. (nice paintings there)

Cathay was sold for further use, becoming the Shanghai of China Ocean Shipping Co in 1978, after briefly being named Kenghshin
What's the name of this Jewish liner, built in 1957?

Early in her second season, she sank in 500 feet (150 m) of water on the night of June 2 / morning of June 3, 1977 after striking a small iceberg while navigating 12 nautical miles (22 km) off Battle Harbour. She was carrying 129 passengers and 29 crew at the time of her sinking; all survived.
The evacuation was carried out efficiently and passengers and crew waited in lifeboats in the icefield while watching their ship sink. Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers and Canadian Forces helicopters were dispatched to rescue the survivors.

Yes, but you first said it was right & officially said that it was my turn.

Yes, but you first said it was right & officially said that it was my turn.

That's cause I didn't check the wiki for the right answer.

Oh well, you said it was right at first, then he went, so you cant really change it after that, if you will, lets focus on this question, or find a new one!
Problem solved? Good....

Same as
"Word isn't a bird, you can't catch it's tail". ;)

Britannic was made the same axact length like the Olympic and Titanic so no difference of length for the sisters Titanic of 1911(year of launch) and Britannic of 1914. Like what SD sid.

At the time when she was built, with her original bow design & combination of AHTS & icebreaker, she was very unique icebreaker. With the same power she can break more heavy ice than traditional icebreakers.

We were on a little boat on a harbour tour and the skipper took us really close to show us it. We came down the port side, which was to the lee, and when we came past the stern, we caught the wind and it somewhat made for a lively trip (the ship was stationary/ very slow at the time and nothing to do with it).
Question: What is the oldest former Dover-Calais (in the same environment) still afloat anywhere in the world. (I must admit to not knowing the answer and will have to look it up anywhere)

She will go out of service on 16 october this year. THEN she will be property of SAVECA and she will operate as a cruiseship in the Venezuela waters. Then will be decided if she will operate as a floating hotel, or that she will be wrecked.

The Blue Ribband Trophy
-
Double hamburger: which ship is this, and which trophy does she currently hold..? :)
-
I know the name, Cat Link 2, and its got the Blue Ribband for the Fastest Transatlantic Crossing.
-
New question someone?
-
During Construction, what ship slipped off it's slipway killing some people? Hint: Cunard Liner
-
I know the name, Cat Link 2, and its got the Blue Ribband for the Fastest Transatlantic Crossing.
She is the Cat Link V (now Fjord Cat) and is currently the holder of the Hales Trophy, a trophy awarded for the fastest trans-atlantic crossing.
However, she is not considered the holder of the Blue Riband, as she made the crossing without passengers.
That honour is still held by the SS United States since 1952 (!) :)
http://www.theblueriband.com/thehalestrophy.html
-
Dang, it did say that she had the Blue Ribband for the July 1992 i think, for the Cat Link 2 though... :P
-
No one answered my Question yet so here is the answer since it's time is up. The answer was the Cunard Liner, RMS Queen Mary 2.
-
Which ship is this..? (4 times holder of the Blue Riband)
-
It's Cunard's Etruria of 1885!!! ;D
-

-
Inman's City of Paris!
Now this one is the one! ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes, the City of Paris.. :)
-
What is the name of this ship and for what is she considered famous?
-
That's the Sirius, considered as the first Blue Riband holder for her voyage in 1838 to New York at 8.03 knots.

http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,938.msg117054.html#msg117054 (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,938.msg117054.html#msg117054)
I’ll add that the cover story was that R/V Knorr spent the whole time out of WHOI searching for Titanic. After Ballard finished his Navy duties (He held a reserve commission, and the Navy paid for his toys), he found Titanic in a relatively short time.

Explain the connection between this vessel and ShipSim.
Sorry guys, been away on business and no internet. The answer I was looking for was Red Funnel - she is the former Gatcombe of Red Funnel towing (or correctly titled the Southampton Isle of Wight and South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Company Limited)

-

Everything.
:doh:
-
Everything.
:doh:
Guess, that's the most correct answer you can ever get, matt5674! ;D
-
WM, we will have to wait to see if I was correct, think he has gone to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!
-
You must name the mistakes, so here they are,
the Grand Staircase is made incorrectely, the telegraphs in the bridge are nothing like the original, Titanic never had alarms, the lifeboat davits aren't accurate, also the lifeboats, the remaining passengers never sang the last song played, Titanic never had a list to port or starboard, in one of the lifeboat scenes, the b-deck opened went in between black and white, not white and white, there were no explosions on Titanic, the dining hall for first class wasn't two stories tall (like in Raise the Titanic, it was the Grand Staircase top stair), and in the end, the 20th lifeboat was missing, it said 19 and in the 1997, all 20 survived (20t was upside down but was able to row to Carpathia.
-
Yeah, maybe "all" those above mentioned were the inaccuracies you were looking for, but have you checked if the number of rivets on the
3rd tier of hull's steel plates above the waterline
is correct in all Titanic films?
-
forgot the 3rd tier of hull plates above the waterline's rivets :doh: and since yo corrected m on one missing mistake, your go WM
-
Name this tug, laid up in Rotterdam ???
-
was writing the question when you asked. :lol:

A random Guess, the Norsea and Norstar
-
That's right! It was Norsea and Norstar (Norsun at the time) ;D Checked the Wiki on P&O Ferries > Hull- Rotterdam route and those two ran the route before the Prides and docked at the terminals for the ships. Guess it's your go TFM. No wonder your called the Ferry Man, you know your ferries ;D

Name of this sloop, built in 1872 & what she's famous for?
-
When Britannic was sinking, the crew in the engin room escaped through Britannic's large what?
LARGE HOLE in the side- which was why it was sinking... If not, why not? Seems a good way to get out to me ;)
-
The #4funnel, which was a ventilation shaft for the engine room..
The last of Britannic's crew escaped at the last second through the 4th funnel to get out. So you got the right answer.
LARGE HOLE in the side- which was why it was sinking... If not, why not? Seems a good way to get out to me ;)
The large hole as you said was on the starboard bow so incorrectbulkheads?
The bulkheads are inside the ship and with water coming up, they had only one last way out.

Are you asking about the rivets on the
3rd tier of hull's steel plates above the waterline
or on the 4th tier?

The type of rivets used for the Curves of Titanic are the one's I'm talking about, the weak spots are the curves of the bow. Forgot to add this :doh:

SD, can we declare this a Titanic free zone?

New one: name of this Russian hydrofoil..?
There were 2 of these for sale (or 'sail' recently) I was considering one, but it was, ahem, in somewhat less than first class condition...
Would have made a good diving reef though.
-
Was this the Kometa?

Was this the Kometa?
No.

What is the port Titanic left for Southampton?
Hint: Between U.K., and West Ireland.
-
Liverpool. It went there for a naming ceremony. (guess)
-
If you mean after Southampton it was Cobh
-
The documentery on National Geographic Channel; Titanic: How it Really Sank, said the correct answer so here it is:
Titanic left Belfast after being laid there when Olympic returned for repairs.
No one even came close to Belfast. Liverpool was where Titanic was registered, not christened, and Southampton and Cobh aren't in between UK, and Western Ireland coasts. So anyone's go now.

I am afraid you are wrong there, Cobh is on the East Coast of Ireland and so is between the UK and Western Ireland Coast

If I can remember, Cobh was Queenstown then but If you can remember from my Question:
What is the port Titanic left for Southampton?
not after Southampton. Read questions carefully. ;)
-
SD, can we declare this topic a Non-Titanic Zone?
Or can someone create the Titanic Quiz separate topic?
-
I suppose a Titanic question once in a blue moon is ok..
Otherwise, perhaps a seperate quiz isn't a bad idea..(where they can all shout at each other).. ;D

At last, Antarctica icebreaker is on the move
Tuesday, 17 November 2009 16:46
Improving weather conditions allowed the Russian icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov to make some progress on its return to Ushuaia, Quark Expeditions said Tuesday afternoon.
The ship, which has been stuck in pack ice in the Weddell Sea, is now able to navigate and is expected to be in open waters soon. It had been due back in Ushuaia on Monday.
All 101 passengers, 23 staff and 60 crew remain safe and comfortable, according to Quark, with entertainment and educational programming continuing on the ship.
The voyage included a special visit to the emperor penguin colony near Snow Hill Island, where Kapitan Khlebnikov got iced in.
‘Although the delay may cause complications for return travel, all passengers are enjoying the extra time we have spent at the Snow Hill Island emperor penguin rookery and seeing the icebreaker in action,’ said Shane Evoy, Quark’s on-board expedition leader.
The Argentine Research base Marambio is 25 miles from the ship’s current location and within reach of the vessel’s helicopters. Quark said that while there is currently no cause for concern, as a precaution it contacted the base regarding use of the airstrip should there be any need to take passengers off the ship for medical or other concerns.
The company is working to adjust homebound flights for passengers from Ushuaia and is providing entertainment and educational programming for those waiting to embark for the next voyage.

Name of this liner (here in wartime dazzle scheme), launched in 1907..
-
RMS Olympic.
-
HMT (RMS) Aquitania
-
No..Clue: she was a sistership of the Lusitania..
-
Mauretania
-
Right.. :thumbs:
-
It couldn't have been Olympic, cause the superstructure is different from Olympic's Structure, and Mauretania has thos exact colors from WWI.
My Q:
Which Olympic Class Liner had Gantry Davits?
Info of Gantry Davit: It is a super sized davit to house more lifeboats.
-
It couldn't have been Olympic, cause the superstructure is different from Olympic's Structure.
So it's only the superstructure that differs Mauretania from Olympic, while in all other features, including the number of rivets on the
3rd tier of hull's steel plates above the waterline,
both ships are the same?
How come I didn't know that before? Thanks for informing me, Matt! :thumbs:

Disguise and Rejection from Alang Breaker Yard
In October 2009, a ship claiming to be the "SS Platinum-II" was turned away from the Alang breaker yard in India when it was discovered the ship was actually the SS Oceanic/SS Independence. Indian authorities alleged that it had been renamed and supplied with falsified papers in order to evade regulations on toxic materials

Well judging gfrom the name Willy Stower
Well the funnel fell of, and she broke in half...
Also didn;t she move away, so that the iceberg would not be visible
-
Willy Stenia
The titanic didnt sink in fron of the ice berg and thers to many people in the water and the ship didnt sink yet, and the engines are still running the smoke
-
All good but one thing is wrong about the drawing
-
All good but one thing is wrong about the drawing
It's more likely that everything is wrong there because it's a drawing, not a photo.
-
The titanic is missing the large wing on the poop deck?
-
Well, the drawing was finished 1 month after the Titanic sunk. The drawer (Willy Stöwer) didn't had much background information.
The 2 thing that where wrong that i had in mind where that many icebergs and there is smoke coming out of the 4th funnel. This funnel was only meant to make the ship look impressive and didn't let out any smoke, except of the kitchen.
-
Well, anyone to go next now

SD, Glad you said that!!
-
What could possibly be interesting about that..?
What could be interesting about any ship that you can find on Simplon?
The questioned ship is mentioned on that site, I just took another image of her.
-
Let me guess..this was the most boring one you could find..
-
Personally I am very interested in this picture. I am unaware of this vessels name, but I would like to find out as it was one of the undoubted back bone of international trade, and as Mr WM puts it, it is no more nor any less interesting than any other vessel here posted.
So I ask WM not to be distracted and to continue on with his question, to which I seek the answer.
EDIT: Based on its general shape, the image quality and the derricks beside, I would place it in the late 40s/mid 50s. Which would make it a pioneer of containerised cargo and therefore quite interesting after all!
-
Thanks, Stu, but she was built in 1973! ;D

The ship was originally owned by the company which was sold to Delmas in 1989.

I don't know. But looking at the general shape of the vessel as well as the derricks alongside, I would hazard that this is in fact a SECOND generation container ship and therefore an interesting ship. Although I decline to offer an answer, sadly.

It appears that SD stayed up all night working on that and posted an answer!
-
And I'm only emphasising how hard the question is that after SD gave his answer I still didn't know what it is. ;)
-
Actually, after waking up this morning, it took me about 10min over a cup of coffee..
But, as WM said, you need to look in Shipspotting..
I would have to be pretty interested or bored to spend hours looking for a ship.. ;D

Here's an easier one: name of the ship in the background..

No..the rally cars are a big clue..She left Le Havre for Buenos Aires a few days ago.. ;)

Typical... The one ship I said it wasn't
My Q?
The name of the ferry that Charlie Crocker takes a Bedford VAL to Italy... With 3 minis.
-
my guess is the Free Enterprise I (in the film The Italian Job) :)
-
That's the one... A bonus if you know what the vessel is called now (or was last called.... I SUSPECT (but not sure) that it has been recycled into razor blades...)
-
Staying with the movie theme: on which German gunboat were Charlie Allnut and Rose Sayer married,
and what is the ships real name..? :)
-
Louisa ;)
-
Right.. :thumbs: Do you know the ships real name ? She is still sailing..
-
Is it the Liemba by any chance?
-
That's right..Your go.. :)
Btw Stuart: as far as I know, the Free Enterprise I is now the Greek ferry Okeanis..
Not sure if she is still in service..
-
Far as i can see the last records of her were in 2007? ??? Gillette might have got their hands on her since then but... ;)
Question coming here :)
Who is this having some 'work' carried out to them after being sold in 2005 to a Greek company?
-
New one: this ship looks very similar..the name ?
-
Clue: formerly a Bremerhaven - Helgoland ferry..
-
Atlantis
-
Right.. :thumbs:

Anyone to go, it's pils time here and I am off for one or three!!
-
very quiet tonight.. :)

Last report is still listed active, but no known route information... Spare? Diving reef?
-
Good idea..I wonder where WM is, he wasn't here.. ;)
-
Last report is still listed active, but no known route information... Spare? Diving reef?
I will find out...
He has been very quiet recently... I hope he is okay?
-
He's probably appearing on 'im a celebrity get me out of here' As one of the bugs being eaten (only being serious, Mr WM)
-
He may just be in shock because he is now in top ten online.. ;)
-
No he isn't!... I remember when I was at position number one and managed to keep 250 posts ahead of djm... then I got a life.

The very first RORO In Dover - Calais in the same environment and converted WW2 tank landing craft don't count... I mean a purpose built ferry.

Not many suggestions!

That's the understatement of the day.. ;) It's the Saginaw..
Anyone to go..
-
What port in what country was the PoR coming from, and what is the route she travels? And bonus: What landmark did PoR pass before leaving the Mediterranean?
-
The rock of Gibraltar is the most common landmark when leaving the Med.
-
You just answered the bonus, what of the rest Stuart?
-
I assume you mean Pride of Rotterdam???
venice to Hull (for berthing trials before proceeding onto Rotterdam)
-
The route I'm meaning is the Hull-Rotterdam route, It was tricky. You got some of all of the questions right, here is the correct:
Venice, Italy
Rotterdam- Hull
Bonus: Rock of Gibraltar
So you go for a 2/3 corrected question

Forgive me, Matt. But based on your main questions of WHERE she was launched and what special landmark in the MED she passed, one can be forgiven for thinking your route question was so related. Therefore, on default I win 3/3.
Any problems with that? :evil:
-
My question:
What port in what country in the Med. was the PoH coming from, and what is the route did she travel to her home port? And bonus: What landmark did PoH pass before leaving the Mediterranean?

Stena Hibernia
http://nammashipping.com/masaradetails_en.htm

Close, but read the question carefully.. ;)
-
It said 1975 when I started looking!
I'll leave it to WM as I am off now!
-
Close, but read the question carefully.. ;)
I fail to see the carefulness in the question :doh: ...
-
The answer is the Stena Adventurer..The Stena Hibernia sailed for slightly different lines.. ;)
Express Aphrodite (2006-2007)
Express Aphrodite (2005-2006) - Hellenic Seaways
Express Aphrodite (1999-2005) - Hellas Ferries
Express Aphrodite (1997-1999) - Agapitos Express Ferries
Stena Adventurer (1996-1997) - Stena Line
Stena Hibernia (1992-1996) - Stena Sealink Line
Stena Hibernia (1991-1992) - Sealink Stena Line

Okay now I see :doh:
-
That's exactly what I said Stena Hibernia!!!!!!!!
-
The question was about a Stena Line ferry, not a Stena Sealink/Sealink Stena Line ferry.. ;)
Anyone to go..
-
Still don't get this, they were the same ship?
:doh:
-
Yes, just she has had different names through the years/lines..
Here (http://www.ferry-site.dk/ferry.php?id=7507019&lang=en) you can see her in her different liveries.. :)
-
Okay,
(http://www.jameshovercraft.co.uk/hover/images/craft/n500/N500%20at%20Pegwell_1.JPG)
What was this Hovercraft called (make and model), where did it operate and what was its biggest problem?
-
Name: Bob
Make: Flymo
Location: Dover - Calais (same environment of course)
Biggest problem. It is very ugly
-
Location: Dover - Calais (same environment of course)
Correct in that respect, now can anyone else guess the rest?
EDIT: I swear i just saw IRI5HJ4CK laughing and a picture of a flymo lawnmower.
-
Name: H/C COTE D'ARGENT
Problem: Tecnical problems mainly with the engines.
Model?
-
Naviplane N500
Ingénieur Jean Bertin or Cot d Argent
Biggest problem: Only one??? Don't know...
Did you know it crossed the Bay of Biscuit in its youth... Must have been a very calm summers day
EDIT: Problems Engines, hydraulics and it couldn't climb the Dover (with Calais in the same environment) hoverport... and it generally wasn't as good as the British H/Csss.... desolee, France
-
Naviplane N500
Ingénieur Jean Bertin or Cot d Argent
Correct.
The SEDAM Naviplane N500 operated from Dover to Calais, although, famously, in bad weather it was incapable of getting onto the hoverpad at Dover. Another problem i would have let you have is that the Cote d'Argent (sorry v.h94) caught fire after just seven running hours.
Stu gave the model name so his go

-
Nope.. :)
-
the Cushioncraft CC5 hovercraft of Britten-Norman :thumbs:
-
Excellent.. :thumbs:
-
lol
-
need the names of these four ships
-
I thik one of them is CVN 65 a.k.a. Enterprise and the other big carrier is Lexington.
-
Non of your answers are right ;)
notice: The aircraft carrier in the front is spanish
-
The one at the back is HMS Illustrious or HMS Ark Royal. With Invincible being moth balled as we can no longer afford to keep these vessels afloat... Still, at least we're spending our money on worthwhile social engineering projects instead [I can just imaging (insert any moderator name) saying "shut it").
I would say as this was most likely a Gulf operation between the Royal Navy and our 'allies'. Due to the length of the ski ramp I would say it is most likely the Ark.
The front vessel, I don't know.
-
From front to back: Principe de Asturias, USS Wasp, USS Forrestal, HMS Invincible.. ;)

That IS fascinating Mike.
It also surely deserves an award for ugliness...
was it just superficially changed,or were the inards scooped out for hangers etc?
-
I imagine they did the same as the British and Americans and cut the superstructure off, cranked the funnel uptakes to one side and put a flight deck on top!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_aircraft_carrier
-
New one: name of this ship (1938)
"ordered by a Norwegian shipowner, but was bought on the stocks by Buries Markes. Her early voyages were mainly to South America carrying coal out and grain home - a typical tramp trade."
-
La Pampa
http://www.benjidog.co.uk/allen/photos/BURIES02.jpg
-
Right.. :thumbs:
"La Pampa the first of a line of five ships, when the bridge watch saw a submarine on the surface. The submarine was preparing to fire a torpedo at the ship, but the master increased speed and turned to ram the submarine, forcing it to crash dive."..

and WM is back, which makes it harder...
Sooooooooooooooo...
Which DCITSE vessel is currently having mechanical problems...?
-
Could you translate that into English..? ;D
-
hehe
Which Dover-Calais ferry is having mechanical problems
(Hint she is still sailing)
-
Could you translate that into English..? ;D
;D
No wonder, without the mention of DCITSE in SSE & here on forum - Ferryman's question could be the same "local" as asking about which AHTS is currently under repair on shiprepair yard "Pregol", not so far from here...
The answer will be: Lukoil's Neftegaz-31 (BTW, the ship on the right in my sig).
-
The answer to my earlier question was the USS Kearsage, crane capacity 250 tons.. :)
http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-k/ab1.htm

hehe
Which Dover-Calais ferry is having mechanical problems
(Hint she is still sailing)
If its PO then its Dover or Calais (the ships, not the same environment)
If its SeaChance then its probably... all of them?
-
hehe
Which Dover-Calais ferry is having mechanical problems
(Hint she is still sailing)
And the answer is?
-
And the answer is?
This one is bugging me and TFL is still not giving a clue. No info on the internet; from memory, it seems most of them have run for a period with a defect; one of POs recent rebuilds ran (in its previous guise) for nearly a year on 3 engines. Confidence inspiring
-
The Answer was the Pride of Dover
In fatc due to this she has taken over from Burgundy as offering the cheap crossing with no onboard luxuries
-
Ah yes, the Burgundy... THe ship designed to make every other ship on the planet seem good... What a difference between that appaling tub and her two 'step'sisters.

About time we had a new one. Name of this RORO please?

nope... MUCH older
-
Is it about the oldest warship afloat, or are we talking Roman ships here..?

The oldest commissioned battleship.

HMS Warrior
Close...

No. It is still in service. It is a British battleship
EDIT: The only one...

SD, you're our hope now!
Noo I know

I should hope you DO!

I have been on her...
Victory...
HMS Victory

Just beat me to it.. :doh:
-
Yes, it is still the flagship of the 2nd sea lord of the admiralty (Home fleet (like we have enough ships to have more than one fleet)).
Yes, the pride of the Royal Navy, arguably the worlds most successful Navy (stand by...), shares a harbour with, ahem, HMS Cornwall... :-[

What is wrong with HMS Cornwall?
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Iranian_seizure_of_Royal_Navy_personnel
Embaressing... At least the RFA Wave Knight had a damned good reason why they couldn't attack pirates (for fear of endangering the hostages)... HMS Cornwall- did you see the state of the crew? out of condition, pillocks.
The commander is pretty lacking in competence and judgement and they really seemed to lack any form of credibility... I HOPE the rest of RN isn't like that embaressment
-
I remember that now

You're older than I thought.. ;)

Another Q) Not really for the quiz, but just because it is bugging me...
"Why did British warships always have open bridges when every other navy enclosed them?"

Name of this famous battleship, built 1906..?

HMS Dreadnought

Here you are..(hope you bother to read it)..

What Is the English translation for Greepeace's vessel, Esperanza?
Bonus, What did she serve as befor becoming a Greepeace vessel?

Esperanza is Spanish, so in English it means Hope

-
I have a new question ready but too soon to ask??
-
Before entering into service of GreenPeace it was a fire fighter of the Russian Navy serving under the name Echo Fighter
In Russian Navy she was sailing as firefighting vessel under the name Vikhr-4 from 1984 till 1998, then under Echo Fighter till 2000, Eco Fighter till 2002 (converted to a research vessel in 2001) & then became the Esperanza.

Wrong, it's a cat. Can't you see that?
No, it's a sidewall hovercraft!
A Surface Effect Ship (SES) or Sidewall Hovercraft, is a watercraft or vessel that has both an air cushion, like a hovercraft, and twin hulls, like a catamaran. When the air cushion is in use, a small portion of the twin hulls remain in the water. When the air cushion is turned off ("off-cushion" or "hull borne"), the full weight of the vessel is supported by the buoyancy of the twin hulls.
The air cushion is made by air travelling between the two hulls, and being pressed downwards.
2-0 to Christopher Cockerell.
-
I'm sure we all know about this semi-hovercraft principle- but where is the evidence that this 'water borne vehicle' is a sw flymo?
EDIT: One thought, since these vessels are still primarily piercing/displacement hulls, should they still be classed as hovercraft? They don't hover like a proper hovermower does... It just reduces its depth a bit and therefore its drag
-

A hydrofoil like this

No, it's a sidewall hovercraft!
That's not a sidewall hovercraft! Just a cat ferry, similar to Fastcat-Ryde, Red Jets & all those...
Ferryman can enlighten you.

It's been talked about since 1998!
Each year, somehow the loadings go UP despite competition from AT and BF... AT were a bunch of halfwits, but BF... a bit more competition.
Yet, PO have a more 'intense' timetable than BF... Also the PoBi is pretty famous yet the Pont Aven, for example, is known only by enthusiasts... People know what POB is, but ask the average person about BFPA and they'll say they don't know...

I see the Norman arrow is laying up before going on Le Have run... What's happen to Dover - Boulogne (in no extra environments)

What is the port of registry on Queen Elizabeth 2 right now?

What is the port of registry on Queen Elizabeth 2 right now?
Not Southampton no longer.
Port Villa
Incitentally, It wasn't registered in Southampton anyway... Cardiff. Since about 1972 (?) all British ships are registered in Cardiff, but are given leave to publically state whatever the general home port is... But a home port has no legal definition
-
Port Villa is right. Queen Elizabeth 2 was sold and her Southampton was painted black like the hull and Port Villa was put in between the old Southampton name and Queen Elizabeth 2's name. You get the go Stuart :thumbs:

Which was the first ocean liner/ cruiser to have 'turbo electric' transmission...

BTW... (not part of the Q) but what legislation is there to prevent the name Southampton remaining on the stern? Since it is no longer under British jurisdiction, the good people of Southampton can't do anything about it... Not that they could anyway, since Southampton is not a legal port of registry.

Sorry Mike. That was worded sloppy on my part. Nevertheless, I stand by my intitial comments that the vessels are legally registered at Cardiff and are only given leave to state elsewhere.
I think my interpretation is correct, but perhaps it is splitting hairs un-necessarily. So, for the sake of day-to-day operations, I will cede your point.

*wait this isn't my question :doh:
-
Well, no need to wait for Mr Nathan- I'm pretty sure this isn't the PO Hull ;)
Question:
What is the name of this ship (below) that has recently been axed by P&O due to total management incompetence and a general failure to exercise the duty of care of every corporate director in that to maximise utilisation of corporate resources for the maximum return to shareholders.
I will give you a clue: The name is on the bow of the ship... (I didn't see it as worthwhile removing it since we all know what I'm talking about here)
(http://www.costadelsol-vacationrentals.com/images/prideofbilbao.jpg)
-
By any chance the Pride of Bilbao, soon to be named something Irish with a big cloverleaf on the funnel..
:o HOW did you guess?
Is it really going to Ireland, or is that just an off the cuff comment?
-
Well, no need to wait for Mr Nathan- I'm pretty sure this isn't the PO Hull ;)

Not sure what you mean here Stuart as DP World, the operators, don't have any shareholders?
-
Not sure what you mean here Stuart as DP World, the operators, don't have any shareholders?
Firstly, without wishing to go off topic, P&O Ferries Ltd is still an incorporated company, registered at companies house. Its parent company DP World ports own 100% shares in the company... There are still identifiable shares in the company.
Michael, with great respect, perhaps before trying to pull me up on a spurious point- you could at least check you are right ;D
-
Nah, I don't think anyone knows what Irish ferries will do with her (or even use her?).
Ok, 3 Part Question
1) Name of the ship
2) Where is she now
3) What happened to her in 1989 to 1990 in Bremerhaven?

A shame... I liked the 2 grasshoppers, although they were very slow by comparison to others on the DC(ITSE) channel.
My go, what was the fate of the Fantasia?
It's current route
Current name
-
Torpedoed?
-
No, it wasn't torpedoed, Britannic...
Fantasia is now the Wawel, and runs up the Baltic from Gdansk to Stockholm. It is operated by Polferries. It has been re-built inside to a proper overnight ferry, with cabins etc.
It looks pretty good now- some things get better with age...
-
Well, since there isn't posted here something for a while, I'll just do something. ;)
What is the class name of this ship:
(http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/6931/F76E7558232847C6A5B7D01ADE6397DB.jpg)
-
destroyer ???
-
Heavy Cruiser.
-
Yamato Class,maybe ???
-
Its a Fuso class battleship of the Japanese Imperial Navy.
Based on the top of the tower, I'd say it was actually Fuso itself (the other 2 had different obs deck)
-
I think your right Stu.Yamato has a sloping funnel. :doh:
-
Stuart is right :thumbs:
to jim.smith, this is a Yamayo Class:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Yamatotrials.jpg)
-
WOW! That's 2 I've got right today... :)
I don't have a Q, so I relinquish my go to someone who has better knowledge of these matters.
-
Name this Warship.
-
HMS Hood
-
Right again Stu. :thumbs:
-
So you know enough to answer questions, but not enough to think of a new one ? :)
-
OK. What famous Polish Destroyer is going to visit Cowes in 2012. And why?
-
ORP BÅ‚yskawica
Coming back to Cowes to celebrate the 70th anniversary of her battle against the german aircraft that came to bomb the Isle of Wight.
-
Ok, Fred. Make A Question. ::)
-
A Dutch bloke answers a question about a Polish Navy ship, which was fighting in Britain against the Germans. Truly a multinational answer.
Yes, you are exactly right.
Bonus point if you can tell me where the ship was built and why it was actually moored in the Medina.
-
Ok, Fred. Make A Question. ::)
What's with the rolling eyeballs?
-
She was built in Cowes, and was there for an emergence refitting.
It's pretty much all in the wiki article. ;D
Well... mine then..
Name the unlucky ship that is seen on this photo.
Hint: Labrador
-
Hmm..tough one Fred.. ;D
-
hopefully.. ::)
-
HMS Raleigh !:)

Anyways, the same picture is in that site and under that picture stands: Wreck of the HMS Raleigh ::)

Yep, found this other site..http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/93YZtrHuZh7Om_P2wVMXLQ

What's with the rolling eyeballs?
He Forgot To Make A Question, Thats Why.
-
After a correct answer, one has 1 hour to post a new question..
After that, anyone can go.. ;)
-
On any ships from the days of steam ships to modern cruisers, what structures are on the bottom sides of the hull?
Hint Picture:
In attach
-
stabilizers
If its good, anyone can go next
-
It is a form of stabilizers, known as a Bilge keel..
-
New one: which ship was this ? (launched 1903)
-
Kaiser Wilhelm II?
-
RMS Cedric?
Though that was launched in 1902, it says here..
looks like it though: http://www.wnccoins.com/SS%20Cedric%20Obv.jpg
But it's comparing a drawing with a drawing.. soo.. might not be 100% accurate. :)
* Edit - Our for a spot of dinner.. if it happens to be correct, anyone that wants, can have my turn!!!
-
He Forgot To Make A Question, Thats Why.
'He' hadn't been told it was the correct answer yet, and it takes more than a few minutes anyway. Took you much much longer to respond to the question that was asked YOU, so why rush ME, when Stu, the one who actually asked the question, hand't even responded. Bit rude, I'd say.
So I'd appreciate it if you think first and post second.
Cheers!!
Fred.
-
New one: which ship was this ? (launched 1903)
RMS Baltic
-
RMS Baltic is correct.. :)
Btw:Fred makes a good point, he hadn't even been given the green light yet
Read post #1 for the rules, Britannic..

Name of this liner built 1928

So I'd appreciate it if you think first and post second.
I have deleted my comment here as I am told that calling someone a tosser isn't allowed...
And no, it wasn't to you, Fred.

Let's keep it friendly.. :) 2 hours are up, anyone to go..

Let's keep it friendly.. :) 2 hours are up, anyone to go..

NOTE:
Tosser=to toss
toss
• verb 1 throw lightly or casually. 2 move from side to side or back and forth. 3 jerk (one’s head or hair) sharply backwards. 4 throw (a coin) into the air so as to make a choice, based on which side of the coin faces uppermost when it lands. 5 shake or turn (food) in a liquid to coat it lightly.

Firstly, thanks SD for the PM you sent me. However, I think it should be made public :lol:
I make no apologies for the aleged spam content of the above post. I think it is an important part. Earlier comments have potentially excluded some members from taking part in the quiz.
Is it so difficult to confirm whether or not less knowledgeable members are permitted to join in? Or is this ship spotters only.
If you think this is spam beyond tolerence, then there is a button you can press. But be assured that I WILL defend my viewpoint fully. It is up to you- just answer the question...

To "acknowledge" Stu's question: of course this game is not for ship-spotters or experts on ships..
It's a game for anyone..No one has ever complained here that a question is too easy..
Some questions are more difficult than others, but most of them can be found if you want to
I can't deny that to answer some questions a degree of searching-skill is usefull..(you get handy with it in time)
Lot's of questions were too difficult for me to find, some were so hard I thought no-one would know it (but someone often does) I think one of the nice things about this game is that maybe things can be learned that were not known, and an incentive for some to improve their searching skills..
Some questions may be too difficult for anyone to answer, the 2-hour rule takes care of that..
So, in short, the game is for fun and learning..

SD, that's a Hover Hawk. Anyone to go.
-
Right..:Anyone who answers one of my questions saying "anyone to go" or not posting a new one in 1 hour, loses my question, and sits there like a donkey without a paddle.. ;)
The rules are simple: if you don't have a new one, don't bother to answer..

Well it's that or I leave you with the question and let you decide if the answer's
right.

Oh, the answer was right, but the follow-up left something to be desired..

The rules are simple: if you don't have a new one, don't bother to answer..
Same rules as in SSTP, but this quiz is about ships..
- a question stays for 2 hours..If after this time no correct answer is given, anyone can go next
- essentially, the questioneer determines if an answer is correct, and gives the "go-ahead" (green light)
- after the "green light", a new question is posted within 1 hour..If not, anyone can go next..
What is the name of this hydrofoil ship..?
Oh sodium mutt. I am disappointed in your duplicity. Oh so very disappointed... After you wrote to me in PM telling me this wasn't the case. When you indicated that this was a topic open to ALL members, not just specialist ship spotters. When you indicated that there was no problem with people joining in this 'fun' topic who could research the question but did not necessarily know enough to SET a NEW question.
Oh, zoute hond, I am very disappointed in you... :C
-
You may well be right Ralphy..Here's a topside picture of the shockwaves created by the firing..
If that is a ship from the navy I think it is then it NEEDS that many guns so that they have a chance of hitting their target and not their allies...
Shoot first, ask questions later... "Sorry Admiral. We thought you were the bad dudes, godamit."
-
I am sad that you are so disappointed Stu (but I'll get over it somehow) ;D
Hope your journey is going well.. :)

Hate to think what it's doing to the ship though...

It's not my fault that a lot of things changed in this game since the last time I played here. And my mind is usually conservative...
So it's either anyone to go now, or I'll post a some very hard & random ship question that it'll be clearly everyone's go after 2 hours...
Oh, wait! What's the time limit now, I forgot? ;D

OK - starters for 10

Waddingtons (or their new parents!) have brought out a version of monopoly WITHOUT money you know...
Just a quick note to WM, who doesn't know of the changes to this topic. You MUST post a new question when you answer correctly... despite what saline wolf said in his first post in this topic... You MUST obey ALL SDs rules, without question...

I'll post a question now, in case I was right, and I'll try to answer it this afternoon...
(http://www.hovercraft-museum.org/images/5-4-2009_004.JPG)
What is the name of this hovercraft, and what class would it have become if it was used commercially?
-
Sounds like one for SuperHoverGuy.. ;D

I am Super Hover Guy... if there's anything I don't know about hovercraft, it isn't worth knowing...
Still, I can't answer my own questions!

Looks a bit like the BH7.. ;)

A wild guess: the SR.N7..? ;)

Yep! Your go, SD! I guess next time I need to think up a super hard one :o
-
I can think of someone who would enjoy that.. ;)
-
Name of this hovercraft..?
(granddaddy of production hc's)
-
You asked that 3 pages ago (but deleted the post when I couldn't post a new one)
You described it as the Model T of hovercraft and the image was from the hovercraft museum's website.
Hover Hawk...

So I did..And yes, it's the Hoverhawk.. :)

good luck :thumbs:

Hoy,
Well, in the 1920's,traveling by cruiseliner was not very comfortable.I mean not the food or something,however the movement of the ship was not pleasant for the passengers.
An italian bureau designed and putted a tool(instrument) on the ship,to keep the ship very much more steady.
What was that tool(instrument)
Regards
Marc
-
Stabilizer?
-
Nope.
A very good try.
-
This sounds very familiar..Something in the stern.. :)
-
bilge keel?
-
They putted it in the bow,however you can put it everywere on the ship.
Best down in the ship,it was quit big at that time,and they used 3 of them.
-

Tomorrow morning at 7,i'll checkhowfar it stands.
Tuned mass dampers? :lol:
-
No,
Hint
It was turning.
If no one finds it at noon,i'll tell you.
-
New style of rudder? Anti-heeling Ballast tanks?
-
Nope.
Nice try.
-
Steam turbines?
http://www.maritime-connector.com/ContentDetails/116/gcgid/95/lang/English/MARITIME-CONNECTOR---SHIP.wshtml
-
Also not.
In the 1920's,i think there was no azimuth.
They used it on a cruiseliner,no cruiseship.To keep the ship as level as possible with high seas.The tool itself exist from about 1908.
I think your better "google".
They build 3 of these tools(instruments)in that ship.
If i give more hints,i better tell it than.
At noon,you get it.

In nautical parlance, what does it mean "to get pooped"..? :)

The Red Osprey has recently finished her new paint job and is now in the same livery of her sisters.
Why has she only just got the original livery?
-
The question is puzzling..
-
That is why. ::) Oh, and BTW HMS Curacao was rammed and sunk by the Queen Mary when she was foolishly steaming too close across QMs bow during WW2. Not too clever. :doh:
-
Ah..the old Ikea ploy...I dare say you could be right Traddles.. :)

Assuming I am correct ::), what ship is this one?

the HMS Charger.. ;D

Very good, and fast too. :thumbs: I should have hidden her number. :doh:

traddles your right. it was repainted last january for a 12 month sponsership deal
during this time i personaly renamed it the yellow funnel

O/T message for Marc...
Hi Marc, I too saw the programme about the gyros in those Italian ships. There is a good internet page somewhere about them- but I am damned if I can find it.
Officially they were de-commissioned due to being in-efficient, but there have been stories that the bearings collapsed sending some of the gyros off their mounts and smashing to bits anything that got in their way... True or false, I wonder. :-\

Maybe CMB company?

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Mark_48_Torpedo_testing.jpg)
-
What is going on here:
I think, (and this is just a hunch, mind you), that it's a ship being hit by a torpedo.
-
I think most of us reached that conclusion, but which ship (and which sub)..?
Looks like target practice..
-
HMAS Torrens, sunk as a target by HMAS Farncomb, in June 1999 using a Mark 48 torpedo.
I quote pictures for a reason, it makes it harder for people to jist go back to the page the picture was taken from.
-
It's safe to say you're right McG, go ahead.. ;)
-
ah yes, me in my younger years*, but what hovercraft is this?
(http://www.hovercraft-museum.org/images/Hovermidget1969.jpg)
*It's not actually a picture of me
-
You really do have skirts on the brain...
-
looks skirtless to me...
-
It looks like a hoovercraft that never will be added to shipsim to me :P
-
Sorry, it's an actual amphibious hovercraft, therefore elegible to be a question.
-
It may be actual, it's still a pretty silly question..
Let's see if someone gets it.. :)
-
I always get the pictures from one site, so it shouldn't be too hard, just look through the craft in their collection...
-
It is a Hover Midget
-
Correct! Not too hard, was it? Next time I'll post a less dubious hovercraft!
Your go, TFM!
-
What is going on here:

Seems a bit silly to destroy one of your own ships. MUCH easier to start a war with another country and use THEIR ships for target practice.

"Is the MV Prinses Paola the same as the tub named MV Tropicana that ran fom Miami to Bimini for a few years, per chance?" I've seen a few very similar photos, but remember the Topicana being much bigger...
TFM... This is a question for you, methinks (although it left Dover before you were born. Ahh bless)
-
You would be correct
MV Prinses Paola = MV Tropicana
-
You just beat me, I found the answer myself... :doh:
Fate???
-
Alang... :'(
-
Shame... She was a nice old tub...
I didn't realise what it was at the time, although I suspected it was an ex Dover (and Ostende in hopefully a future environment) ferry...
APOLOGIES to the quiz master for going (SLIGHTLY) o/t. Cheers TFM
-
Anyon to go for me I don't have a question right now :doh:
-
Some or everyone should know this:
What P&O Ferry is having an overhaul? and for a bonus, what vessel (P&O) is taking the route with the overhauling vessel's sister?
-
PoR?
-
Okay what is LD Lines newest acquistion to be called?
(formerly Brave Merchant)
and Blanca del Mar / Ave Liepaja. A very nice ship which should serve LD well.
Personally I was holding out for NORMAN WISDOM, or NORMAN STANLEY FLETCHER, but alas, not to be.
-
Some or everyone should know this:
What P&O Ferry is having an overhaul? and for a bonus, what vessel (P&O) is taking the route with the overhauling vessel's sister?
Canterbury in refit / European Leader taking over?
-
Here was the answer:
This is the only P&O Ferry in SS08, the Pride of Rotterdam. McGherkin, you got the answer right and the bonus was Pride of York. Nathan had the name of the substitute vessel in PoR's Overhaul topic a while ago. So you can go McG

(http://www.hovercraft-museum.org/images/Canair.jpg)
-
Name of this ocean liner (1932), and what was special about her..?
-
SS Rex
For a while held the blue riband for westbound atlantic crossing.
-
Nope..(though the Rex later became her sistership)
-
SS Conte di Savoia
Famous bit: Either the crewman who plugged a leak or the gyro system.
-
Correct, in her day unique in that she had 3 large gyro stabilisers installed in her lower hull
(but that was indeed a brave crewman that plugged her leak)..
-
Does that mean I have to post a question now?
-
Name of this ship
-
Barque Sedov
-
I knew you'd get that one.
Lovely ship. Have been onboard when she came to visit, and also when we came alongside with the PO Bilbao in Biscay... Amazing sight when under sail.
Your turn, Mr WM
-
What's the name of the largest tall ship ever built?
-
A guess: the France II..?
-
I would have thought that would be the Sedov.
-
No correct one yet.

The Sedov is currently the largest, (but not ever)..
Surely you don't mean the Thomas W Lawson..?

Surely I don't.

Rickmer Rickmers

It was possible.. :) The names of the vessels will do..

Is that man Bruce Willis by any chance? ;D
Judging from the funnel, I'd say the ship is Maxim Gorkiy.

I think Bruce was still in diapers at the time.. ;D
But you're right about the ship.. Her funnel was very characteristic.. :)

Built in 1931. What the ship is that?

Back from ship spotting... Very cold outside, brrrrrrrr.

Continuing with a Scottish ferry theme.
This is a Dutch-built ferry which was built in 1961 and was sold to Western Ferries in 1988 and was renamed SOUND OF SLEAT. But what was her original name?
-
That took me on a merry chase ;D
De Hoorne
-
lol, well done Ferryman, it was DE HOORN indeed - I was convinced that you wouldn't find the answer on Google (I've checked it myself! ;) ;D)
Here's SOUND OF SLEAT in her original role as the River Maas ferry :thumbs: She has hardly been altered, apart from modifications to the end ramps.
In 2004 she was sold by Western Ferries, and is now a diving training vessel based at Holy Loch near Dunoon - only a stone's throw from her former Western Ferries route.
-
I didn't try Google, first I tried http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/, then shipspotting.com ;D
So...

After 2 hours a questioneer may leave the computer, allowing him to admire his bathroom tiles, and explore the bounty that is to be discovered in the kitchen..
On such a venture I now embark.. :)
You're very romantic, SD.
-
Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic.. ;) It was the Arielle, anyone to go..

Whats the name of this vessel and for which company did she serve?
-
Color Viking formally Stena Invicta, now works for Color Line
-
Titanic
it sallying the USA flag not the UK where it was registers
There would be nothing strange about Titanic flying the American flag. She was an American ship owned by the American shipping company White Star Lines.
-
Actually she is flying the blue ensign of Great Britain and the Stars and Stripes at the foremast head as a courtesy flag, presumably indicating that she was bound for the USA not, of course, being in US waters.
-

About two days from VirtualSkipper's question. So here is mine:
This vessel is known in three movies: The Curse of the _____ _____, Dead Man's Chest, At World's End. The movies all have this ship. Name the ship in the attachment below and what was the vessel the ship was sunk by in the second and what ship she sunk in the third.
Pictures of all three ships.
Hint is the picture's names and the three movie titles. Title one has the name hidden since it has first ship's name.

what was the vessel the ship was sunk by in the second (Quote from matt5674)

In 1918 was Cunard's transatlantic passenger steamship the C.......a, which became famous by rescuing the T.....c survivors, torpedoed by the G....n Submarine U .5

Even the german section :-\
-
The corec answer is 4
Vana Tallin, Regina Baltica, Kapella and Superfast VII
Superfast VIII did go in trafic last month after it have been laid up in Kopli for around 4 months
-
Tallink is the largest part of the Helsinki shipyard in Finland. :D
Sory my english, I live in Finland.
-
The corec answer is 4
Vana Tallin, Regina Baltica, Kapella and Superfast VII
Vana Tallinn, Regina Baltica, Kapella and Superfast VII and VII-- umm that makes 5. because 2 Superfast are in Paljassaare: http://www.ts.ee/PortMap/paljassaare.html (http://www.ts.ee/PortMap/paljassaare.html)
-
How many ferrys does Tallink have layed up curently? ;)
Not how many do they have in total.
-
Didn't one of the Superfasts go in trafic?
-
SD, that's a borrowed forum etiquette & a copyright infringement!
-
I'm sorry, but how could you mistake that for a merchant ship?
-
I'm sorry, but how could you mistake that for a merchant ship?
Maybe because they thought only Russian warships is a real warships there? ;D

It doesn't matter..You don't have a new question anyway.. :)
-
Pictures can easily be slightly altered with Paint.. :)
Also, post your picture as JPEG image..
may I ask why?
-
For the same quality, a JPEG image takes less space..(see above)
-
this ship went down on the pacific coast, with 40 survivors.
-
I find that pings have the highest quality, which is lost when converting to JPEG, but that's just me, a perfectionist.

In Russian Navy she was sailing as firefighting vessel under the name Vikhr-4 from 1984 till 1998, then under Echo Fighter till 2000, Eco Fighter till 2002 (converted to a research vessel in 2001) & then became the Esperanza.

In which two places in the world does a captain give up command of the ship to the pilot..?
Here's one of them.. ;)
-
i don't get the question but i would say entering and leaving the harbour. im pretty sure there is more than 1 place where a ship is taken over by a pilot
-
If you look, he said two places, not one.
-
As I understand it, there are only two places in the world where the captain hands over all command of the ship..
-
i don't get the question but i would say entering and leaving the harbour. im pretty sure there is more than 1 place where a ship is taken over by a pilot
i think that counts as 2?
-
is one of them panama canel?
-
It would have been less complicated to say 2, but okay... :doh: and i think Ralphy's right salty, i don't know much but in some places, by law, you must give control to the pilot in harbour/port.
-
Indeed Ralphy, one of them is the Panama Canal.. Which is the other place..? :)
-
Going on a limb here but - the Suez canal?
-
now thats where i get stuck, i know there are alway pilots around the solent but i doubt that is it.
-
Not Suez..(look at the picture I added) ;)
-
umm how did you can post a new question if you havent got last one right
-
Kiel Canal?
-
It's called the 2-hour rule jaan, look it up in post #1
Kiel Canal is right FM. The Panama Canal and the Kiel Canal are the only places where the captain gives all command of the ship to the pilot..
I leave it up to you and Ralphy who goes next.. :)
-
Seeing as he's not online, you should probably go

-
As it's on the starboard spreader it is a courtesy flag, so would have to assume that picture was taken in an ROI port.
-
I sailed with a Ch.Off who always referred ROI as God's Country... :doh:

Anyone to go if I'm right..
-
Yep The Port Santo Ferrie Lobo Marinho travels from Funchal to Port Santo Which funchal is accualy a cool Port THE QM2 went there once and they had to clear all the ships out
-
My abiding memory of Funchal is going there on the old Canberra, sitting above the harbour having a beer when the ship blacked out, myself and another junior engineer jumped up ready to run back to the ship and rush down the engine room to get everything running again when the old second engineer who was with us told us to sit down, have another beer and wait for the lights to come back on.
We let the lights come back on, gave it 30 minutes or so to make sure they stayed on and then sauntered back to the ship and all looked duly surprised when the coxswain on the gangway told us that there had been a blackout, the second engineer called the engine room to see if they needed a hand only to be told that it was all OK now.

Ok, what is the name of the submarine ? ;D

-
Yes.. :) Your go..
edit: anyone to go..
-
What is the name of the type of stern found on Queen Mary 2?
-
Ugly?
Erm from memory she has a transom stern, but haven't seen any piccies for a while
-
It is actually a transom / cruiser hybrid, the underwater section is a transom stern which is necessary because of the pods and they have added a cruiser stern section above the water line to try and make her look a bit more like an old fashioned liner and less like a
floating apartment block. modern cruise ship.
-
Wikipedia calls it a Constanzi Stern, which is a mix of a transom stern and a ocean liner stern, but you can go :2thumbs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constanzi_stern

I have to go in the other sense of the word (sailing in 30 minutes need to go and

-
What ship and where built?
-
No takers? She is the United Arab Shipping Company vessel "Ibn Malik". Built 1977 at Hyundai Shipyard, Ulsan, South Korea. I joined her as second mate at Ulsan during her completion and sea trials and sailed from Ulsan to the Persian Gulf on her maiden voyage. There were four identical ships all built in one large drydock at the same time.
-
What type of hull was the Knock Nevis?
I thought the answer might be she was a single-hull oiltanker, which are being phased out for double-hull oiltankers..

Could have been difficult to isolate as the class numbered around 22-24 sisters... caught many of them in Hull when they were running steel to the Gulf.
-
Looks like the "Santa Maria" to me Fred, Columbus's flagship.
To Quaysider, It was a sneaky one I know but I thought there might have been the odd guess as there were, as you say, a lot of sister ships, some built in Govan and some at Ulsan.
-
OKe some time ago at a night i was at a hotel and took this foto of a leaving cruise ship

The answer is: Christine
IF that is correct, here is another question: Where will MT Shannon Star be travelling to on August 2010?
Sorry, that was not the answer I was looking for.
Tip: It was a warship

-
And where do they float more: salt water or fresh water..? ;D
-
What do you mean by float more?
-
Where do they have more buoyancy..? ;D
-
Resists urge to look in Naval Archtecture textbook...
Lets work this out...
Salt water will be more dense, and will thus need less water displaced for the mass, meaning the vessel will be higher, with a smaller draft, meaning more likely to tip over...
-
Here's a picture to illustrate: a guy reading the paper in the Dead Sea (very salty) ;D
-
So salty water is more bouyant...
-
Yes, a ship leaving a fresh water port will be higher in the water when she reaches sea..
I have no idea by how much.. :)
-
Here is my theory of how higher up ships are in the three different waters.
Control (Open Sea water):
(http://i28.tinypic.com/slrxuh.jpg)
Fresh water (Titanic is a bit higher):
(http://i25.tinypic.com/1235hrt.jpg)
and Salt water from Dead Sea:
(http://i26.tinypic.com/212br5s.jpg)
For the last one, if Titanic sank in the Dead Sea, she would just keep floating. Picture a car crashing into the Dead, and floats across it ;D
-
Name that ship :D Or is it space shuttel :D
-
ocean village 1 :doh:
-
Ocean Village Two
-
Seems pretty obvious.. ;)
-
Yes, a ship leaving a fresh water port will be higher in the water when she reaches sea..
I have no idea by how much.. :)
It depends on the temperature - warm (Salty) water is less dense
-
The density of sea water is generally taken as 1025 kg/m3, were fresh water is 1000 kg/m3, as TFM says it varies slightly with temperature, but not enough to matter in terms of draught.
If you look at a ships draught marks there are separate marks for fresh water and sea water as ships loading in fresh water are allowed to load a little deeper knowing that they will rise a little when they get to sea.
-
Yes, just found an interesting article about that..
Here's a picture of a waterline (load line) marking on a cargo ship, with beside it markings for different waters..
# TF – Tropical Fresh Water
# F – Fresh Water
# T – Tropical Seawater
# S – Summer Temperate Seawater
# W – Winter Temperate Seawater
-
Name a "Lavender Lady" ;)
-
Judy Dench?
-
I meant a ship.. :lol:
-
a tanker?
-
No..Here's a clue: In their heyday the liners of this company had a lavender hull, and for this they were affectionately called by some "Lavender Ladies".. :)
-
To simplify: name of this ship..?
-
Here's a picture to illustrate: a guy reading the paper in the Dead Sea (very salty) ;D
i dont know how i did this but i got a small swimming pool and filled it with watter and ALOT OF SALT i mean alot of salt and i could stand in the water it was cool and i showd my freinds and now they think im magic :P

On vessels that sail on the Atlantic you also have Winter North Atlantic (WNA), to give vessels more freeboard on the stormy North Atlantic during the winter.

Whoever came up with that one had obviously never been in the South Atlantic during the winter :(
-
Anyone to go.. :)
-
Which ship is this? Try and get the answer.
-
I think that's one of the French Mistral Class amphibious assault ships..
If so, it's either Mistral, or Tonnerre.
-
Good, anyone next...?
-
Cheers!
If you have a good one, go right ahead, you can have my spot! :thumbs:
-
In the days of sailing ships, why were crows taken aboard, and where were they kept..?
-
is this to-do with they want to go to land so if they see land than they fly to it otherwise they stay with the ship, and i guess it's the crows nest?
-
I don't think they stayed with the ship (unless maybe far out at sea, I don't know a crow's action radius hehe), but a crow would fly directly, instinctively to the nearest bit of land. Ships would use this when lost in coastal waters for example, when they lost sight of land, so that they could get a bearing to the nearest land.
Hence probably the expression.. 'as the crow flies'. i.e. shortest route to something, I reckon.
Where they were kept? no idea, I reckon that's a joke referring to the crow's nest indeed.. though that's probably not where they were kept all the time.. But I do reckon it could have been called the crow's nest because of this method since it was the tallest lookout position to observe where the crow went. :P
Fred
-
Funny, the English version and the Dutch version of Wikipedia give both a different explanation about the Crows nest :doh:
-
is ballast cheating? ;D have you never heard of the vikings using birds to find land? i can't remember if they were crows or not though.
so who was right?
-
I assume that Fred is right.
This article comes straight out of the English version of Wikipedia:
The crow was an essential part of the early sailors' navigation equipment. These land-lubbing fowl were carried on board to help the navigator determine where the closest land lay when the weather prevented sighting the shore visually. In cases of poor visibility, a crow was released and the navigator plotted a course that corresponded with the bird's because it invariably headed straight toward land, "as the crow flies."
The crow's cage was situated high in the main mast where the look-out stood his watch. Often, he shared this lofty perch with a crow or two since the crows' cages were kept there: hence the "crow's nest

Why is it cheating? :P I never heard of that. But we don't need that to find our way at sea 8)

The only such cruise ship in the world..
Sadly, now a casino ship in Singapore.. Your go..

Yep, your go :thumbs:
-
That was a shot in the Dark! Okay:
On the R.M.S. Olympic, she had a tennis court, while the R.M.S. Titanic had what in that place?
-
is it going to be something ironic to do with her fate, like mabey a ice bar or something, i doubt it would be a ice rink though
-
This has nothing to do with her fate. Read the question carefully. It has something to do on their differences.
-
i know what it was saying i was just thinking was it somthing to do with ice?
-
The answer is that a Cowl Vent is in that place. There was no room left for a Tennis Court there. Anyone to go.
-

-
it seems Fastcat shanklin is on her way back to southampton. The old fastcats didn't last long, infact they never made a trip.
Why's this?
-
The owners never did enough research to realise that there are no suitable facilites at Ilfracombe or Swansea for the vessel, the fact that somedays there would be no service due to tides...
-
spot on, your go
-
;D
Raplhy, seen any sign of the Island Express lately?

14 & 15?
-
Correct Fred :)
-
Cheers! I wasn't sure but thought they were the only 2 of this type.
Anyway, here is the next one..
On board of what ship was this photo taken, and what is the peculiarity about this place?
-
The supposedly haunted Hotel Queen Mary. Her pool was drained when she arrived in Long beach as a Hotel.
-
The supposedly haunted Hotel Queen Mary. Her pool was drained when she arrived in Long beach as a Hotel.
I love supernatural stuff, having seen a ghost before :o Your post have prompted me to google about the haunted QUEEN MARY. Seemingly the swimming pool wasn't only the haunted place on the vessel.....
Shaft Alley on the Queen Mary
One of the most haunted places on the Queen Mary is in the engine room, known as “Shaft Alleyâ€. An 18 year-old crew member was crushed in doorway number 13 when they were having a watertight door drill in 1966. Many eyewitnesses have seen the ghost of a bearded man wearing coveralls walking along Shaft Alley and disappearing at Door 13. Records show that the appearance and clothing of the ghost are the same as what the crew member was wearing the night he died.
The Queen Mary's Salon
Another frequent sighting is in The Queen’s Salon which was once the First Class lounge. Many people have seen a lovely young woman dressed in a white evening gown dancing alone in the shadows. At the front desk area of the hotel, a woman dressed in white is seen walking around and when she passes behind a pillar, she disappears. In the hotel lobby, piano music is heard but the grand piano’s lid is closed.
And a bit more background info on the swimming pool......
Queen Mary First Class Swimming Pool
The First Class Swimming Pool area is extremely active. There have been sightings of a lady walking around the balcony dressed in a 1930’s style bathing suit. It is believed she drowned in the pool. She also looks over the balcony wall to observe activities at the pool. Another sighting is a lady on the pool deck who drowned there in the 1960’s. Many psychics claim the swimming pool area is the vortex of the ship. A vortex is the place of entry for spirits from other realms. In the dressing room and pool deck, witnesses have seen wet footprints appear on the floor and dry up. The pool was drained when the ship was sold
-
Did you know she also sank a British cruiser?
By accident of coarse. The cruiser was HMS Curaçoa and she sank because QM hit her.
On 2 October 1942, she was escorting the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary carrying nearly 20,000 American troops of the 29th Infantry Division to join the Allied forces in Europe.
Both ships were following evasive zigzagging courses about 60 km north of the coast of Ireland when the Queen Mary cut across the path of the Curacoa with insufficient clearance, striking her amidships at a speed of 28 knots and cutting her in two.
The Curacoa sank immediately, about 100 yards from the Queen Mary.
Due to the risk of U-boat attacks, the Queen Mary did not assist in rescue operations and instead steamed onward with a fractured stem. Hours later, the convoy's lead escort returned to rescue 99 survivors from the Curacoa's crew of 338, including her captain John W. Boutwood.
-
Yup, I heard about that as well, a rather unfortunate accident. The captain of QUEEN MARY must feel wretched to leave the men in water, but as you say the risk was too great to stop for rescue operations due to the U-boats, especially with 20,000 souls aboard the great liner.

Alright, This one will be fairly easy if you catch the clue; Gibby might know this one after being in Branson ;)

A picture as "Blue Lady"
-
The four master was the "Archibald Russell", built in Glasgow of steel in 1905. I do not think there is any relationship to anyone we know with the same surname. I sailed with a shipmaster who had served on this ship as a boy.
-
Name of this ship..? (here seen on Lake Geneva)
-
La Suisse

Nope..(zoom in and you might see it ;) )

Major clue: original name Delphin Caravelle.. ;)
-
Turama
-
Right..(hard to miss) :)
-
How many lifeboats were originally planned to be on the Titanic?
Clue: From a show called Titanic: How it really sank From Bruce Ismay's Trial.
-
64
-
Nope. WAY too many.
-
"At the design stage Carlisle suggested that Titanic use a new, larger type of davit, manufactured by the Welin Davit & Engineering Co Ltd, each of which could handle four lifeboats. Sixteen sets of these davits were installed, giving Titanic the ability to carry 64 wooden lifeboats—a total capacity of over 4,000 people, compared with Titanic's total carrying capacity of about 3,600 passengers and crew. However, the White Star Line, while agreeing to the new davits, decided that only 16 wooden lifeboats (16 being the minimum required by the Board of Trade, based on Titanic's projected tonnage) would be carried (there were also four folding lifeboats, called collapsibles)"
source "Alexander Carlisle's testimony (question 21449)". British Wreck Commissioner's Inquiry. 1912-07-30. http://www.titanicinquiry.org/BOTInq/BOTInq20Carlisle02.php. Retrieved 2009-07-21.
I trust wiki more than a tv show to be honest.. And it does speak of 'planning' as your question does. ::)
-
my ship is not answered >:(
-
Michael, your question wasn't answered in over 2 hours, and when a question isn't answered in 2 hours, a new question is posted.
And the answer to my question:
From the show "Titanic: How it Really Sank," in Ismay's Trial, he said the Titanic was to have 48 Lifeboats, but it would make her deck look cluttered. You see he said 48 or 65 lifeboats, but in the show, the planned amount of lifeboats was 48.
Here is the YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDJ8H3oXyVA
But I would accept either 48 or 64
-
ok it was the green austevoll from green reefers
-
Name of this ferry..?
-
sea cat (catemaran) :captain:
-
Its actually a monohull ;)
-

-
Oh I know that one :2thumbs: Goes from my local port.

Anyway the next question...
Which ferry comically added a bug red nose to its bow in recognition of Red Nose Day?

Ok, what was the name of the former Cunard vessel dubbed the "Green Goddess", and in what way was she a first for Cunard? :)
-
RMS Coronia she was the first cunard with a green hull?
-
The RMS Caronia, the first and largest ship built in the post-war period with the exclusive purpose of "cruising".. :)
-
First part was correct Ryan, but the second was not what I was looking for. :)
Well done Salty! She was Cunard's first purpose built cruise ship.
Your go :thumbs:
-
Thanks, I don't have one ready right now, Ryan can go.. :)

With the Stena Links III how much fuel dose she use on one jornny compared to the Stena Europe
-
Belivet or not the Stena links uses more fuel for 1 than the Stena Europe in one day :o
-
Belivet or not the Stena links uses more fuel for 1 than the Stena Europe in one day :o
I believe that - HSC are very fuel hungry
-
And it uses jet fuel
the Stena Europe dose 4 Trips in a day
the Stena Links has had to stop doing night jorning as the fuel has gone up in price and Stena have stoped making a profit.
-
this is a tricky one.
What ship from SS08 has been accidentally renamed for Extremes to an already taken name, and what is the real life ship sailing under the said name.
-
ocean star
-
nope It's from the Shipyard, although our ship and the real life ship have the same name except for a colour in the name. :doh:
-
The Only Ships with name change in the Shipyard are the Wachthaven III (Now known in SSE as Mare Australe) and the Ocean Star (Now known in SSE as Orient Star)
It the answer is Mare Australe, the real life ship with the same name is actually Mare Austrailis
Please keep SS06, SS08 and SSE questions in Ship Simulator Trivial Pursuit.
-
Oh well I thought there was a post saying the Aglie solution was renamed the Oriental Blackbird. (Real ship Oriental Bluebird, ICR Fuel Tanker)
I didn't know there was another topic lol.
Anybody's go.
-
you can go to the ship sim trivial pursuit on the english forum small talk it standing on the first page i thought
by the way is the angle solution now called oriental blackbird
-
There are some rumours.
here's where I saw it at the bottom of the post:
http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,18885.0.html (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,18885.0.html)
-
If you didn't notice, There are two Multi-purpose freighters. The Original Agile Solution in Sydney, and the Oriental Blackbird with the Nisshin and Yushin Maru. It proves we still got the Agile Solution.
-
Oh I was just going by what McGherkin had posted.
-
Question time! (To stop the off topic discussion)
What was the first all iron warship built?
Launched in 1843
-
SS Great Britain.
-
Nope. It ain't the Great Britain
-
The USS Michigan was the US Navy's first, not sure if it was the worlds first..
-
HMS Warrior...
-
This link said the Michigan was first:
http://www.blurtit.com/q6173363.html And she was launched in 1843. And she is the right answer to my question. You got the Green flag SD
-
Ok, new one: The launch of the USS Michigan went rather strange.. How so ? :)
-
she got stuck before she hit the water
-
That's half of it.. During the night she got unstuck and "launched herself".. :)
"When Hart attempted to launch the ship 5 December 1843, she slipped down the ways about 50ft and got stuck before reaching the water. Any attempt to free the ship failed. When work was going to resume on freeing the "Michigan", the ship was found floating in Lake Erie, (apparently launching herself in the night)."
Your go.. :)
-
what was the first and last ship in costa's SKY class?
-
Costa Olympia
-
Costa Victoria, and Costa Olympia (Norwegian Sky)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img90/4411/57319707.png)
-
Costa Victoria, and Costa Olympia (Norwegian Sky)
i said the first and last there is only one ship in the class and i dont expect a reply
-
Ryan, if that's your question, you better remove her name.. ;)
-
i ment whats her real name
-
I think it's a Maersk ship, not sure which one..(nice photo job.. ;) )
-
Well probably Emma, Estelle, Eleonora, Evelyn, Elly, Ebba, Edith or Eugen Mærsk... ::)
My guess is Emma... :)
-
Yep Fred well done its Emma Mærsk
-
which ship is this??
-
which ship is this??
I can't figure it out, all i know is that its from Vestia, NL =\ Clue please ;D
-
What class of subs are these..?
-
Lego?
They look very 'blocky' to me :D
-
;D
My guess is the Walrus class. :thumbs:
-
That's right.. :thumbs:
-
My next one then..
What ship is the one below.
And bonus.. what's the significance that has to do with the Walrus class submarine? (though that might be a tricky one)
-
Here's (http://dvice.com/archives/2010/08/experimental-ch.php) something that could bother her..
-
That's not the USS George Washington, it's the USS Theodore Roosevelt because you can see the number 71 on the foredeck, not 73.
And the Walrus Class was preceded by the Zwaardvis-class submarine if that's what you mean, fred :)
-
Correct, but not on the second one...
This carrier was 'sunk' by the Walrus during joint-ops training exercises. But it was a bit far-fetched. :)
That was just a bonus one though.. Your go!
-
cptn cris here is a clue: if you mix the 2 colours yellow and blue which colour you have

It is really embarrassing - that boat was brand new. Also it's not the first time a Royal Navy submarine has come to a grief in these waters. You would have thought they'd learnt their lesson from last time. ::)

You all may know this ship that sunk around this time many years ago. Name the ship, company, and cause of sinking if you know it ;)

Answer
The HMHS Brittanic
21st November 1916
Owner: White Star Line
Cause:Sunk by mine four miles off the Greek island of Kea in the Kea Channel
sorry not sure if cause is true but i do know that
the sinking got something to do with world war 1

I don't know, FerryKing.. Go ahead anyway if you want.. ;)

(http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Aznar/MonteUrquiola02.jpg)

My ships answer is actually closer to today and closer in year. It was the Edmund Fitzgerald of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and a main hatchway caved in flooding the holds and breaking the ship in half. I was saying a ship that sank around this time, meaning the date.
-
its company owner is was in spain
thats the clue
-
Hmm even I don't know that!
I could tell you all the Spanish companies but don't know which ship!! :doh:

Yet another Paddleboat question. What paddle boat was originally named the Avalon? And what was her name when she was built and what happened to her in 1997.
-
belle of louisville
In August, 1997, the boat was partially sunk at its moorings; a former crew member of the boat was later convicted of sabotage. The proximate cause of the sinking was flooding of the hull via a city water line left connected to a fitting that led into the boat's hull.
-
Correct!
The Belle of Louisville was originally the Avalon but built as the Idlewild and did sink at her moorings in '97 by a former crewmate. You get the greenlight

This afternoon the Stena Britannica was involved in another mishap..
She called for tug assistance outside of Rotterdam. The Fairplay 22 went out in bad weather and somehow the tug capsized, possibly due to the stormy conditions. The Fairplay 3 and the RT Magic towed her into port.
They cannot turn the tug rightway up, so divers will go in the water to see if they can find the two men onboard.
It is hoped they have somehow survived in an airpocket.

Name of this ship..?

-
Potemkin,If right anybody to go.

-
ok the ships name was
nancowri
-
The answer to my question is the RUS Aurora, the ship that triggered the October Revolution of 1917 when she fired on the Winter Palace..
-
Name of this ship..?
clue: largest non-aircraft carrier in the world..
-
you should give another clue,
there are hundreds of those in the world. And there is a whole company with ships that looks exactly the same
so another clue please
-
The flag isn't a clue..? ;)
Besides, she is the worlds largest, which makes her rather unique..
-
is that a country flag?
-
The Kirov class battlecruisers hold the title for the “largest and most powerful surface combatant warships in the Russian Navy†and the “largest and most powerful non-aircraft carrier warships in the worldâ€.
Kirov Class Battlecruisers ???
-
Right, she is Kirov class.. :)
-
finally got it!
The Russian Kirov-class battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy (Peter the Great) - the Kirovs are the largest warships in the world, other than aircraft carriers - is sailing that way together with a destroyer escort, to conduct manoeuvres with the Venezuelan Navy. Although everyone officially denies it, it's widely believed this is a response to the US Navy's 'humanitarian relief' efforts in support of Georgia, after the recent war.
and i used this website to track the flag
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Blue_and_white_flags&from=File%3AFlag+of+the+Trust+Territory+of+the+Pacific+Islands.svg

According to that website, there is only 1,800 men able to fit on. So we will change 2,167 to 1,800 for this matter :thumbs:
-
I'm confused..what's the current question..? :)

guess this ship and why she's in these colours
and i removed the name like you said in paint ;D
-
Which ship was sent to capture and bring the Bounty mutineers to justice (and what was her fate).. ?
-
a hint for my pic:
its taken in Amsterdam
-
Sorry TFK, your question is no longer active (but anyone can answer it for fun) ;)
-
ok
HMS Pandora
Fate: Ran Aground at great barrier reef 1779
-
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
-
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:
(http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Spido/PieterCaland01.jpg)
(http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/Spido/PieterCaland07.jpg)
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
-
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.
-
Not everywhere in Rotterdam can you see the Erasmus Bridge.. :doh:
Your go TFK..
-
you can at the terminal ::)
-
Right.. I see now the picture was taken in Amsterdam.. :)
-
ok here is an easy one for all:
in 1994 there has been many ship incidents and all that;
but one was the most famous and outstanding out of all of them with a high number of fatalities
what is this ship:
operator (and all her previous operators)
her previous names
fate:
and route
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
-
My ship answers were Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Wikipedia had the answer under Disney Cruise Line.
-
a clue:
it happened in Europe 1994
-
I will make a guess
what is this ship: MS Estonia
operator (and all her previous operators) Rederi Ab Sally, Silja Line, Wasa Line, Estline (was her current operator current)
her previous names: MS Viking Sally, MS Silja Star, MS Wasa King, MS Estonia (was her current name)
fate: Capsized and sunk in the Baltic Sea
and route: Tallinn - Stockholm
and total number of fatalities: 852
and cause of incident: Bow door broke of because of heavy waves, letting water to enter the cardeck and eventually flooding the entire ship
-
correct!
see i told you it was easy: :2thumbs:
well done!(http://www.safety-at-sea.co.uk/mvestonia/html/main1_files/image002.jpg)

Anyone to go next :thumbs:
-
saltydog always decides who goes next like he told me in this quote
I beg to differ..There's no such company as British Ferries..
You must understand the rules. It is now not for you to decide who goes next, it's my go..(read post #1)
-
Maybe I expressed myself poorly.. You said I was right, then said it was anyone to go..
But, as I was right, it was my go, and up to me to decide to post a new question or pass.. :)
New one: on which ship is this..? (built 1951)
-
Got to go.. It was the SS Constitution..
No one got it, so now it is anyone to go.. ;)
-
oke..
Its like multiple choice question
Wich one of these container vessels visits curacao mostly
A. Melbourne Strait
B. Cap Pasley
C. Cap Preston
D. Cala Pantera
E. All above mentioned
-
E :)
-
RIght :thumbs:
Alto salty dog the questio was expired :evil:
Anyone too go next
-
Eh..? I was right ? I hadn't expected that, so anyone to go.. ;D
-
Easy Question, what is the oldest sailing ship still in service and when was she built?
-
The Star of India, built 1863..? ;)
-
What is the name of the tug..?
-
Saltydog, you didn't get green light. The ship was wrong. the USS Constitution was built in 1794, still in service to now
-
After 2 hours you can't give a green light..(it only complicates things)
The answer to mine is the Anglian Prince (towing the HMS Astute after she ran aground..)
Anyone to go..
-
will pass this one :blush:
-
Name of this ship, and by which famous ship was she sunk..?
-
HMS Curacoa, named after the island Curaçao in the Caribbean Sea, was a Ceres group C-class light cruiser. In 1942, she became one of the Royal Navy's major accidental losses during the Second World War.
On 2 October 1942, she was escorting the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary carrying nearly 20,000 American troops of the 29th Infantry Division[3] to join the Allied forces in Europe.[4] Both ships were following evasive zigzagging courses about 60 km north of the coast of Ireland when the Queen Mary cut across the path of the Curacoa with insufficient clearance, striking her amidships at a speed of 28 knots and cutting her in two. The Curacoa sank immediately, about 100 yards from the Queen Mary. Due to the risk of U-boat attacks, the Queen Mary did not assist in rescue operations and instead steamed onward with a fractured stem. Hours later, the convoy's lead escort returned to rescue 99 survivors from the Curacoa's crew of 338, including her captain John W. Boutwood.
-
An excellent answer, the Queen Mary sank her after a collision..
-
Was the Queen Mary damged do you think?
-
Apparently she sustained some damage to her bow..
http://heritage.scotsman.com/disasterstrikes/Queen-Marys-deadly-drama-at.2768340.jp
http://www.lostliners.com/QueenMary/grayghost.html
National Geographic had a documentary about it..
http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/ocean-liner-collision-3950/Photos#tab-Videos/07622_00
-
HMS Curacoa (D41)
If so, anyone to go next
-
HMS Curacoa, named after the island Curaçao in the Caribbean Sea, was a Ceres group C-class light cruiser. In 1942, she became one of the Royal Navy's major accidental losses during the Second World War.
sorry but the answer has already been given,
-
HMS Curacao :o
Never heard of that ship ???
-
how comes you never heard of it?
it has your country name (must have been a colonist guy >:()
-
but i was never born in 1942 :evil:
-Back too topic-
-
i'll take this turn:
i only give 1 clue and its a date:
21st November
ges what ship sank on this date and fate
-
how comes you never heard of it?
it has your country name (must have been a colonist guy >:()
Her name was Curacoa, not Curacao ;)
And to answer TFK's question, it's: HMHS Britannic, she got hit by a mine or torpedo and capsized and sunk in the Aegean Sea
-
she got hit by a mine or torpedo and capsized and sunk in the Aegean Sea
In 2008, It was discovered the HMHS Britannic hit a mine since a Mine chain was discovered near the wreck.
-
Name of this ferry..?
-
Wow thats deja vu...

-
OK , anther whats wrong with this ship (Queen Victoria)
-
I don't see nothing wrong at all on the Queen Victoria.
-
I have edited it and done somthing with the ship
-
Those tiny 2 black boxes in the edited part, just above the deck?
-
he has removed something thats why there are boxes above the ship,
but the even the normal pic's of her still doesnt show me a difference
can you give us 1 clue?hint?
-
He hasn't removed anything..on the contrary.. ;)
-
Maybe it's the air around it ;D
-
OK , anther whats wrong with this ship (Queen Victoria)
she has been lengthened :doh:
-
i think also that she is longer
-
i used special tools to zoom in
and it looks to me that the ship is Queen Elizabeth (new)
but i'm not sure, i could also be wrong
and that some of the lower deck windows are black
-
YES! YES!
i got it and i know its right!!!!
the queen victoria image has been lengthened and made longer!
i checked, the queen victoria only got 8 big lifeboats on each side
so 4 at the front and 4 at the back!
in the image you showed us is 6 at the front and 4!
thats why there is a box above the ship, thats because he cut and paste and added a section between so the ship is longer
i think i am right!
here is a image of the real queen vic with only 8 on each side (4 fron and 4back) and not 6!!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Cunard_Queen_Victoria.JPG)
am i right ryan?
-
i used special tools to zoom in
and it looks to me that the ship is Queen Elizabeth (new)
but i'm not sure, i could also be wrong
and that some of the lower deck windows are black
That sure is NOT QE, if you look closer there are some slight differences between the 2 sisterships.
-
the front top and stern are already the difference in my eyes ::)
-
she has been lengthened :doh:
Well done u got it first :2thumbs:
-
this is really bad :'(
-
can you do another one of those later?
-
The main difference is the stern, the Queen Victoria has a less-rounded stern than that of her sistership..
And yes Ryan, encore.. Your questions are great fun.. :)
-
Well done u got it first :2thumbs:
tnx man!

EDIT the white dots on the hull isnt a awnser they were already there
(http://i586.photobucket.com/albums/ss302/hollis2009/QM2.jpg)
-
ok i will give it a try
1. The funnel is the wrong colour(it should be dark red)
2.Behind the funnel there should be a there should be a rounded off shape (the funnel looks like Old Queen elizabeths funel)
3. The ship Name Queen Mary has a missing *2*
look at the funnel near the funnel it says Queen Mary... but no 2
so i think i am right and here is the right pic:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Queen_Mary_2_Hamburg.jpg)
-
The black funnel looks a bit different too, pic 1 has smoke-stacks.. ;)
-
oh yeah.. ;D
it was hard spotting though
-
ok i will give it a try
1. The funnel is the wrong colour(it should be dark red) (WRONG)
2.Behind the funnel there should be a there should be a rounded off shape (the funnel looks like Old Queen elizabeths funel) (CORRECT)
3. The ship Name Queen Mary has a missing *2* (CORRECT)
look at the funnel near the funnel it says Queen Mary... but no 2
so i think i am right and here is the right pic:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Queen_Mary_2_Hamburg.jpg)
I have marked it :D
There is still 1 thing missing
-
saltydog has already said the last one Ryan..
or did you find another one?
-
There is still 1 more CLUE look a little bit behind the funnel and down :D
-
Strange thing about your pic FerryKing: on the bow it says Queen Mary 2, but behind the funnel it looks very much like reading Queen Mary 1.. :)
-
must be the angle that makes it look like that..
-
Maybe..or maybe Ryan tricked you .. ;)
-
Nope the correct awnser was at the back it dosnt say cunard but it does really
Anyone to go

It was the angle, in close-up it is a 2.. :)

(http://blog.cleveland.com/world_impact/2009/03/large_USNS-Impeccable.jpg)
the answer is that the ship is called LIKE you have already showed us the answer by the name of the attachmenty pic :doh:
USNS Impeccable
Impeccable was built by American Shipbuilding, Tampa, Florida. The contract was awarded on 28 March 1991. The ship's keel was laid down on 15 March 1992, but the Tampa shipyards went bankrupt by November 1993. On 3 December 1992, the General Accounting Office published a report that concluded that T-AGOS 24-2 should not be built. Shortly afterwards the government decided to discontinue this class of ships, but the Impeccable was to be completed as the sole ship in its class. The hull was towed to Gulfport, Mississippi, in 1995 where it was finished by Halter Marine Inc. She was launched on 28 August 1998 and was delivered to the Navy on 22 March 2001 which assigned her to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) Special Missions Program.

I doubt sometimes if anyone is inclined to search, or play the game..

-
The last Cruiseliner that earned the "Blue Riband of the Atlantic" and what was her speed on west and east course?
-
The current Blue Riband holder (Westbound record) is the SS United States, since 1952(!) Av.speed 34.51 knots
Not surprisingly, she also holds the record for the fastest Eastbound crossing.. Av.speed 35.59 knots
-
O.k. :2thumbs:
sorry for the late answer, play Multiplayer at present.

Staying with this theme: after a ship had won the Blue Riband she would fly a blue pennant..
How long was this pennant? :)
-
40 foot (around 13m)
-
Nope.. I'm off to bed, the answer is: the length depended on the average speed of the crossing..
So in the case of SS United States, it would have been about 34.5 feet..
Anyone to go..:)

-
I think it's a New Zealand ship, could be the Te Kaha..
-
Salty, that could be, but he write "Australian Warship". Think New Zealand has the same ships as Autralia. The FFH looks like the Te Kaha. Hope larsdehan give us a hint. ;)
-
Well, it doesn't really matter. As Simon says, they all look the same.
And the 2 hours are long up, so anyone to go.. ;)
-

Wow, so easy and so fast. ::)
-

-
(http://www.maersk.com/Style%20Library/Images/MaerskComExt/logo.gif)
more then 550 ships with the "Maersk Star", 220 own ships.?

That company would be Seatrade which owns 130 vessels. :)
http://www.seatrade.com/
@Gernot: Maersk is Danish. ;)
-
That company would be Seatrade which owns 130 vessels. :)

@Gernot: Maersk is Danish. ;)
:doh: soemtimes better, i read the question (or understand ;D) :doh:
-
The Anfield has something which belonged to a ship scrapped in 1889-1890. What is this 'something' and to which ship did it belong?
-
At the time of her local break-up Liverpool Football Club were looking for a flagpole for their Anfield ground and consequently purchased her top mast. It still stands there today, at the Kop end.
It belonged to the SS Great Eastern..
-
Name of this cruise-expedition ship, built 1982 ?
-
Alright what ship won the very first Blue Riband in 1838?
The Siruis?
-
@Salty, That ship looks like either the National Geographic Sea Bird or National Geographic Sea Lion, but I will go for the Nat. Geo. Sea Bird to be that ship. The 1982 part must be incorrect as that references the National Geo. Explorer whom has a different structure, The Sea Bird and Sea Lion were 2001.
@David04928, That question is SO old! Why answer that and not the current one?
-
Right matt, it's the National Geographic Sea Bird, but either one would have been ok as they're identical..
The year of build is 1982 by my info (http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?MMSI=366892350).. You may be confused by the date when she was refurbished..
http://www.rivercruise.com/river_cruise_ships.cfm?shipid=660
-
Name of this ship, and what's exceptional ?
-
She's the USS Pueblo (AGER-2)
Made famous when she was captured by north korea.
-
Right..The only ship of the U.S. Navy currently being held captive..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pueblo_%28AGER-2%29
-
Anyone to go because I'm having a minor case of "CBA" :doh:
-
Name of this ship (and where is she) ? :)
-
the M/S Oriana, owned by P&O. After her long life, she became a tourist center in Beppu, Kyoshu in Japan.
But i think she was scrapped recently...
-
Right..To be complete, this picture was taken as she sailed through the Suez Canal..
Your go..
-
can't think of a good question. :doh:
anyone's go.
-
Should be easy for ferry-lovers/goers:
During construction, which P&O Ferries Sisters were named with the name of the other sister and which was brought in first and for what reason?
Had to come up with a question after not having one for a long time.
-
Matt - Pride of Hull/Rotterdam - the first keel was laid down as Pride of Hull but she was completed as Pride of Rotterdam as extra funding was obtained to allow the Dutch vessel to be the first in service.
-
Yes! Your go.
-
Can you name the vessel and her special purpose? Bonus point for the other one too! ;D
-
Can you name the vessel and her special purpose? Bonus point for the other one too! ;D
The myst?
-
Tug name: Calshot
Cruise ship: Royal Princess :)

-
Thanks,

-
The 'Olympic' did have something of a bad track record in her younger days, running aground and colliding with 'HMS Hawke'. After this collision the 'Olympic' was brought back into dry dock for repairs to be carried out. This brought both the Titanic and the 'Olympic' together for the last time.
http://rmstitanic1912.webnode.com/titanic-and-olympic-switch/ (http://rmstitanic1912.webnode.com/titanic-and-olympic-switch/)
Olympic left on the way to the drydock.
Titanic right.

The 'Olympic' did have something of a bad track record in her younger days, running aground and colliding with 'HMS Hawke'. After this collision the 'Olympic' was brought back into dry dock for repairs to be carried out. This brought both the Titanic and the 'Olympic' together for the last time.

Olympic left on the way to the drydock.
Titanic right.
For the future, it makes more fun, when the questioner will give any reaction, if someone answer a question. :(

Some people hate me because of what I do, but I'm just doing what my owners want me to do.

What's my name, how old am I, and what is my purpose?"

Seeing as no-one has posted another question, I might aswell fire away!
"I'm a ship, I was born in 1927 and was used in both world wars. I then served as a yacht, before being converted to a floating hotel. I had a accident in 2006, and I'm now sitting on the bottom chatting to some fishies! my current owner has put me up for sale. What is my name, where did I sink, and where was my last PoC before I "had a accident"? oh, and for extra points, why did I sink?"
-
The MS Stella Polaris, she sank while being towed to a shipbuildingyard in Shanghai, China for her conversion into a floating hotel. :)

Correct!

'I used to have 4 funnels but is has be reduced to 2. I am 686 feet in length and after my refit I was able to achieve 20 knots!

At 525 feet (160.02 m) with a gross tonnage of 12,165, Stockholm was the smallest passenger ship operating on the North Atlantic route at the time. However, she was the largest ship built in Sweden at the time. Originally designed to carry 395 people, a 1953 refit expanded Stockholm's capacity to 548 people.

Collision with the Andrea Doria
On the night of July 25, 1956, at 11:10 PM, in heavy fog in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nantucket, the Stockholm and the Andrea Doria of the Italian Line collided in what was to become one of history's most famous maritime disasters.
Although most passengers and crew survived the collision, the larger Andrea Doria luxury liner capsized and sank the following morning. Owing to the collision, 50% of the Andrea Doria's lifeboats were unusable. However, a number of ships responded and provided assistance, which averted a massive loss of life like that suffered by the Titanic over 40 years earlier.
Five crewmembers on the Stockholm were killed instantly and several more were trapped in the wrecked bow. Despite its having sunk about three feet (0.9 m), the crippled Stockholm helped in the rescue and ended up carrying 327 passengers and 245 crewmembers from the Andrea Doria, in addition to her own passengers and crew. After Andrea Doria sank, Stockholm sailed to New York City under her own power and arrived on July 27. The crushed bow portion was repaired at a cost of US$1 million three months later.

History after the collision
On January 3, 1960, the Stockholm was sold to the East German government, who renamed the ship Völkerfreundschaft and operated her as an ocean liner until 1985. In 1985 she was transferred to a Panamanian company "Neptunas Rex Enterprises". Her name was reduced to Volker, and by the end of the year she was laid up in Southampton, England. She was later used as a barracks ship in Oslo for asylum seekers in Norway under the name Fridtjof Nansen.
The Stockholm was sold to Italian interests in 1989 and towed to Genoa, the Andrea Doria's home port. When she first arrived, the press called the Stockholm the "ship of death" (La nave della morte). She was rebuilt from the waterline up and given a modern cruise ship design. Named the Italia I, then Italia Prima, she later sailed as Valtur Prima primarily to Cuba, and was laid up there in 2001. Acquired by Festival Cruise Line in 2002 and renamed Caribe she continued to sail to Cuba. Since 2005, the Stockholm sails as the Athena and is registered in Portugal. She is now flagged out of Cyprus operating for Classic International Cruises.
On 3 December 2008 MS Athena was attacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden. There were reported to be 29 pirate boats surrounding the ship at one stage until a US Navy P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft circled above which led to some of the pirates to flee. The crew prevented the pirates from boarding by firing high pressure water cannons at them. No one was injured and the ship escaped without damage and continued on her voyage to Australia.[

Here's a hard one:
I was a large harbor tour ship for the Port of Duluth, where I was named the Vista King. In 2010, I was sold to another harbor tour fleet, where upon arrival by train the harbor crane cables snapped and I sustained severe hull damage. But I still went on to become a popular tour ship. What Great Lakes port can I be found in today, and what is my new name?

Next Clue:
The ... was built in 1902 as a wooden sailing trawler, she fished the north sea until she was completely rebuilt in steel and mototized in 1957. She fished until 1981 when she was decommisioned and sold for scrap, fortunately this was not to be her final destination, various owners took up the challenge but had to sell when money got short. Andre Hanzens bought her in 1992 and worked on the renovation of the ship until she was ready for her new life in 1998. She is now perfectly suited for her new lease of life and has proven her qualities in any weather!

USCG Constitution?
-
nearly, search the other ;) look at the clue
Captain Ernst M. Cummings, USCG (Ret.), led the tall ship USCGC .... as it "crossed the line†on a year-long cruise to Australia. He regaled an audience at the Museum in July with a slide show about the ship’s adventures on the year-long voyage, which began in Sept., 1987. The 295-foot-long .... is one of only two active commissioned sailing vessels in American military service, the other being the USS Constitution. It serves as a training cutter for future Coast Guard officers.

''I don't think Brunel was pleased when my construction was complete in the early 20th century where I would also get 3 other sisters in the near future. During first World War, I was a troopship with a rather hot destination where I would drop off the soldiers. Further I struck a mine and got hit by a torpedo but I always was able to remain afloat! Unfortunatly, I ran aground and was dismantled for scrap, after 32 years of service. Which ship am I?''
-
TIP: The owner is the WSL.
-
Olympic? But i think i am wrong, because "3 other sisters", Olympic has only 2 Sisters and she launched 1910 and scraped 1935, thats not "32 years of service".
-

"I am an ocean liner. Not that fairly old but I had an older sister. Right now I am, with my 2 cruisesisters, the only one in the fleet of this shipping line. Which ship am I and what shipping line currently owns me?''
It's in the past tense that she had a sister, that would be the QE2. With her 2 cruisesisters I meant the QE and QV. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. :-\
-
The Lusitania
Right :)
Continuing with the question by VS; is it the Queen Elizabeth2 ? currently owned by Istithmar..
-
sanford already answered the question, it was the Queen Mary 2.
The Queen Mary 2 is an ocean liner, is not that old (not even 10 years), had a sistership the Queen Elizebeth 2 and has 2 cruisesisters; the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria.
So I guess, anyone to go next now.... :P

I was built in the late 1950's. I was bought by the United States Steel Great Lakes Steamship fleet.

It's unfortunate :thumbdown:
If the Ship sim community was just like the flight sim with lots of virtual companies, it would be so fun.
-
Then no doubt you will give the answer to this question cptnchris, where does she sail?
-
The Raddampfer-Freya: First, her home port was List on Sylt, in 2000, she moved to Kiel, which was established in 2005 and her new home port, right on her 100th Birthday.
So the Kiel canal, perhaps :)
-
Kiel Canal is right, your go. ;)

To see the clue in the picture is a win worth, can remove any clues or not. You have answer correct, if you use a clue in a picture. Your win was absolutly correct. :thumbs:
-
The clue was in the picture so I won't claim a win.
Then why answer?
I think Gernot left that clue for a reason..
If you answer a question you should have a new one ready. You are just trying to get out of posting a new one.. :)

What two things make her a unique vessel on the Great Lakes?
-
1: She is the most powerful ship on the Great Lakes
The person who get's 2 can go next.. ;)
-
;)
Edwin H. Gott. She is the most powerful ship on the Great Lakes, generating 19,500 hp with two diesel engines. She has a self-unloading boom on deck that can be extended to shore to discharge cargo at a rate of 10,000 tons per hour.
(http://www.duluthshippingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/edwinhgott260115-154_thumb.jpg)
-
Have I really asked that question before? :doh:
But yes, the power of the ship is correct, but what is the second identifying characteristic? Here's a hint: it has to do with unloading.
-
Ähm, is it not too in my answer? The self-unloading boom. ::)
-
Yes, but what about it? Pretty much every ship in the Great Lakes has a self unloading boom. :doh:
-
The answer can be found on this site (http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/gott.htm)
In short, the Gott has the longest boom on the Great Lakes.. :)
-
Correct. Your go.
-
Name of this classic yacht, launched 1921?
-Clue: constructed by Great Lakes Engineering Co. ;)
-
That must be the SS Delphine ;)
I know that ship From the S.S. Ricotta which is being made for VSF by Kyle Hudak (Hudizzle) who also made the VS Titanic. Ricotta is based on the Delphine.
Who knows this one?
(http://i49.tinypic.com/25tch7a.jpg)
hint: It's owned by a college.
-
You are right, Mr Robville. She is the SS Delphine.. ;)
-
Who knows this one?
Is it the Delfshaven ?
-
Yes it is :thumbs:
-
Name of this ship ?
-
Is it OK to answer if I don't want to pose a question?
I did a trip on her as second engineer.
-
That's alright, just say her name and then it's anyone to go..(things are pretty slow here anyway)
I imagine it must have been quite an adventure sailing on her.. :)
-
It certainly was, she is the RMS St. Helena, the last true Royal Mail Ship in existence (i.e. one that delivers mail rather than is allowed to use the name).
The Island of St. Helena is a British protectorate in the Atlantic, the people of which are a bastardised collection of Africans, Portuguese, British, Spanish and French. The mix seemed to have worked well though because as a race they are some of the friendliest people I have ever met.
The ship sails from the UK to St. Helena to South Africa, calling at continental Europe, Ascension Island and West Africa on occasions. She is operated by Andrew Weir Shipping on behalf of the UK government, she was initially manned by mainly British officers, but Andrew Weir have trained Saint Helenians and they now make up the majority of the officers and crew onboard.
She rolls like a pig!

-
What was the original name of this ship, built in 1926 as a whaler & then through continuous conversions, what's her current name as a beautiful tall ship?
-
I think it's this fine looking ship. Talk about an ugly duckling turning into a swan.. ;)
-
If no one would get, SD, you're free to go then. It's indeed amazing what plastic surgery did to that ship...
-
Yes, really a transformation. She is the Artemis, now a comfortable charter-ship.. :)
http://www.tallship-artemis.com/home-en/
Speaking of restored ships, what is the name of this ship? She was built in Britain and has an incredible story.
Built in 1862, and commissioned for use on the worlds highest lake..

Yavari
What an amazing story, till 1914 with steam engine and lama-dung fired :)
Still alive as a museum ship.
-
Yavari is right. What is also incredible is that she had to be dismantled for transport, and the final stage to the lake was done with mules carrying the parts.. :)

Lake Victoria also has old interesting ships, but not that old :)
Next question:
This was a passengership sailing between Copenhagen and an Baltic Island.
In 1963 or 1965 it had the honour of being portrayed on a British Commonwealth Stamp.
What was the ships name, and the reason it was portrayed on the stamp?
(sorry for my english, its not my first language)
-
OK
The ships name was Bornholm.
In 1961 the population of Tristan Da Cunha was evacuated to UK due to a volcanic eruption.
In 1963 the tristonians returned to the island onboard MS Bornholm.
Next to go :)
-
Maybe in future it might be a good idea to give an extra clue after a few hours (like year of build, or so)
Tristan da Cunha is nowhere near a Baltic island.. ;)

Yes but I thought it was included, googling pictures for 'ship british commonwealth stamps 1965'
shows the stamp if browsing a little down.
In the earlier question MV Anastasis (which was the correct answer), it was so easy googling picures of mercyships, so I just researched it to the original name MS Victoria.
Next time I will remember posting a clue after a couple of hours :)
-

One thing I didn't try.. ;)
Which ship is this?
-edit: launched in 1961, here seen during her Falklands War effort..
-
OK :)
Think I know the steamship, but will not steal this thread :lol:
-
It's the SS Canberra..Perhaps a bit too easy ;)
-
It's anyone to go.. ;)
-
It's the SS Canberra.
The first stamp in my seaman's book as a cadet.
The Canberra was a turbo electric steamship and, as far as I know, the first large ship in the World to have AC propulsion. Technologically she was way ahead of her time when she was built, although by the time i sailed on her she was considered a bit of a dinosaur, she went to scrap in 1997, not many ships being built now will last for 36 years.
-
Hello Clanky,
What was specific to the propulsion of SS Canberra, when compared to a pre-WWII turbo-electric ship? The electric turbo-alternators of another ship drove 3-phase motors coupled to each of the 4 propellers of this liner, the speed reduction being achieved by the number of poles and by the turbine speed.
The younger SS Canberra electric propulsion was indeed certainly much more modern, particularly concerning materials, voltage control, or even electronics.
Which ship was that?
Regards,
Luc
-
Perhaps the SS Normandie..?
-
You are right, it was indeed the unfortunate pre-WWII (http://www.thegreatoceanliners.com/normandie2.html) SS Normandie (http://www.jmr.unican.es/pub/00402/0040206.pdf).
Next to go 8)
Luc
-
It was indeed a tragic thing that happened to the Normandie in New York..
Was it an accident, or a Maffia job? We may never know..
New one: Name of this Finnish DAT ship?

It can be Mastera

Hi Luc,
Apologies for not replying earlier, I have been travelling a lot recently.
I didn't know that Normandie's propulsion was AC, turbo-electric, I had always thought that Canberra was the first large ship to have AC propulsion, you learn something new every day.
Canberra had 2 main motors, each split into 2 half motors and 2 main turbo alternators. The propulsion could be configured so that one alternator could drive both motors at low speeds (and indeed we often did this).
The motors were started as 3 phase, squirrel cage induction motors and an excitation current was then applied to the rotor so that they ran as synchronous motors.
The turbo alternators were powered by steam from 3 Foster Wheeler ESD type boilers, we used to say that the ship only had 3 steam leaks, number 1 boiler, number 2 boiler and number 3 boiler. We used to walk around the boiler room with a broom handle with a rag tied to it, if the rag suddenly disappeared then you stood very still, used the broom handle to find the steam leak and backed away very carefully.

Name of this yacht? (1938) :)
-
Ok.

HLS 2000
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/pl/shipdetails.aspx?MMSI=470283000
I worked on the ship in 1991, shortly after the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait
-
It would have been usefull if you had added a clue..
Now it just looked as any old crane-ship.. :)
-
Thanks for the info, Clanky, high pressure steam and associated turbines seem to have made life difficult for engineers, as was the case for the ship of this picture, this one for a very specific reason.
What was her name, by the way?
Regards,
Luc
Edit: Sorry, forgot to write it down, SD. She was the Blue Bird classic motor yacht (thanks for th tip).
-
Ok Luc, she was indeed the Blue Bird.. :)
-
She was the ss Statendam..
I couldn't find any significant engine problems. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.. :)
http://www.thegreatoceanliners.com/statendam4.html
-
In your reference, and also in an other review (http://www.ssmaritime.com/Statendam.htm) of the ship history, her boiler problems have been mentioned more than once.
However, these mechanical flaws would periodically surface again during her career. In particular, the ship’s boilers would cause some worries, since they were of an untried, experimental type.
Looking for some specifications of Clanky's Foster Wheeler's boilers of SS Canberra, I found a reference (http://www.upem.org/documents/turbine.html) (in French) where issues of the FW boilers are indicated. It shouldn't have been such a big deal, if it was only that the burners were automatically turned off due to a temporary low water level of the boiler due to rolling, or was it?
Regards,
Luc
-
I guess it's my turn.. ;)
Name of this cruiseship?
And name 3 actions that were taken to make it possible to pass beneath this bridge..
-
I know the ship but only one of the actions... I didn't know there were three! Can I answer? ???
-
Sorry, name of ship and 3 actions are required.. :)
-
Ship is the Allure of the seas,
Action 1. They lowered her stacks.
Action 2. They sailed through during the day?
Action 3. They aimed for the middle, at a lower than usual tide.
Possible action 4. They ballasted down to provide more clearance?
-
This bridge, the Stora Baelt between the islands of Sjaelland and Fyn. I drive it often.

Right, though you missed an important one: upon approaching the Storebaelt Bridge they increased speed, so as to create a Squat Effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_effect)
Your go.. :)
-
I didn't know that...
A Canadian Con/Ro operator has recently launched a new ship. Can anyone tell me the name of this ship, and why she's so special?
(Hint - she's red, ice classed and the first letter of her name is O, the last is A).
-
Alright, 2 hours are past, so here is the next question:
Which ship sank on May 30th 2013 in the Baltic Sea on its way from Rostock to Klaipeda?

The ship I showed you is the Irish L.E. AOIFE. I'm not surprised that nobody found out, that was quite hard.
Anyone to go next.
Edit: Sorry that I posted this too early. I didn't notice that here's another time zone. :-[
-
Finding the name of a naval ship with her number is not hard at all..
The hard bit is getting people to answer.. ;)
In future, leave your question on a while longer..

I just got confused, because at my home it was 12:24 already at this point. Sorry that.
The ship on your picture is the nuclear powered SS Leonardo da Vinci.
-
It's ok, the 2-hour rule is taken very loosely here lately.. ;)
You are right, she was the ss Leonardo da Vinci.. She was not nuclear powered, but provisions for conversions to nuclear power were there..

That would be one of the MCS's heavy roll-on roll-off vehicle cargo ships.. the Bob Hope class.
But there's a bunch of them, so I don't know which one... the Bob Hope or the Fisher or the Seay or the Mendonca or the Pililaau or the Brittin or the Benavidez.. I'm sure it's in there somewhere. ;D
-
It's indeed in there :). On the picture you see the Mendonca.

Hint :

A remarkable coincidence:
"On December 5, 1664, a ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales. It has 81 passengers and each one of them died except for a man named *. Same date on December 5, 1785, a ship with 60 people aboard met its horrible fate when it sank in Menai Strait. Only one survivor is recorded -- a man named *. After hundreds of years, on December 5th 1820, a third vessel sank in the Menai Strait. 25 were aboard and drowned except, --- do I really need to tell you who the sole survivor is? Yes, it is a man named *."
What was the name of the survivor?
-
Idk if I'm meant to do this but the answer to mines was multiple manslaughter and abandoning ship/cowardess.
-
Thanks Jake. It's appreciated.. ;)

What was the name of the survivor?
Hugh Williams was his name. :)
I wonder if a Hugh Williams will register in this forum and invite people to go on a cruise with him...
-
Hugh Williams is correct..
I doubt people will board a ship if they learn there is a passenger with the name Hugh Williams.. ;D
Your go..
-

Hi here is my question why does the Queen Elizabeth 2 (1968) have the arabic number not the roman one unlike HM The Queen.
-
Because the only person who can use the II suffix is Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II.
-
No Tradeles good try though hint: its in; QE2 Forty Years Famous by Carol Thatcher
-
It is not named after the Queen but is simply the second ship to bear the name?

Yes That is one of the right answers the other I would have excepted is it was for clarity to other ships. :2thumbs: your go
-
Thanks :)
What ship is this and what has happened to her recently?

Hint: She's a celebration!

The MS Bahamas Celebration, first name Prinsesse Ragnhild..?

Your go.
-
Which true event is shown in this painting?
-
I believe it is the event in World War 2 when RMS Queen Mary sliced through her escort ship HMS Curacoa off the Irish coast which killed 239 people. The ship, which is now in long beach California, is said to be haunted with the crewmembers of the Curacoa.
-
Absolutely correct..
-
Thankyou :)
What unlucky ship is this?
-
The Riverdance?
-
Correct! Your go. :)
-
Could I request something? Maybe if there were more questions about things other than a ship's name, that would be great. Maybe questions about class of ship, nautical transportation-related historical events, ports/seaways, or questions that maybe more can answer. The most recent question by Saltydog is a good example.
-
In the meantime, it's anyone to go.. :)
-
I'll chip in with a hard one!
According to the most recent publicly released general arrangement plans, how many main fire zones (MFZ) does Titanic II have? :evil:
-
Haven't seen the GA, but based on the size, I'm going tio guess 5?
-
shouldn't ship quiz be about ships that (have) actually exist(ed)? :evil:
-
I think I'm partly to blame Fred, by saying that ship-related questions in a broad sense were ok..
Should have added 'preferably existing or existed ships' ;D
-
(quote): *ships, also known as *-boats, decoy vessels, special service ships, or mystery ships, were heavily armed merchant ships with concealed weaponry, designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks. This gave *-ships the chance to open fire and sink them. The basic ethos of every *-ship was to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
They were used by the British Royal Navy (RN) during the First World War and by both the RN and the United States Navy during the Second World War (1939–1945), as a countermeasure against German U-boats and Japanese submarines." (end quote)
What was the common name of these kind of ships..?
-
Haven't seen the GA, but based on the size, I'm going tio guess 5?
Nice guess, but the answer is 7. (http://media.news.com.au/fe/2012/07/titanic2plans/doc/titanic-ii-plans.pdf) The main fire zones are labeled under the modernized (though the design's been changed since then) side profile.
-
What was the common name of these kind of ships..?
For some reason I have to think of james bond.. ;D
-
Or Star Trek Next Gen.. ;D
-
I seem to remember "Q ships". :-\

Correct :)

-
It's your turn to post a question. That's how this game works.. (read post #1) ;)
-
What's the name of the ship?
HELP: It recently crashed with another ship
-
Come on guys it's easy.....
More help: The crash took place near Andros island :captain:
-
According to saltydog's first post, i should say the quiz's ansewer after 2 hours :(
- a question stays for 2 hours..If after this time no correct answer is given, anyone can go next
Well the ship is called Katherine and crashed with Baru Satu near Andros island at 4/7/2013 (see picture 2&3)
Now it's at my hometown's shipyards ;D (see picture 4)
-
Hi GeoP17, you don't have to give the answer after 2 hours, it just means anyone can post a new one after that time..
The 2-hour rule is there for the following reasons:
- Someone posts a question, then forgets all about it until a few days later (while everyone is waiting)
- Someone gives a correct answer, gets the 'green light', but does not post a new question..
Hope this doesn't stop you from playing, just leave your next question on a bit longer.. :)
Greetings, salty
-
Ok, thanks Saltydog I will wait for the correct ansewer the next time :thumbs:

-
You're great at quizes, so I think you will find it :captain:
-
What's the name of the ship? :captain:
Superstar Aquarius, (on the picture it is the Norwegian Wind)

-
Why is the current voyage of this ship so special?
-

-
Well, I want you to tell me the name of this ship...
I have erased both its name and its company name because by that way it would be very easy...
GOOD LUCK :2thumbs:
-
It's good to make a question not too easy, but this is going a bit far.. ;)
-
Oh i forgot the pic, sorry :blush:
-
that's it...
-
She could be the Cruise Europa ferry from Minoan Lines.. :)
-
Great! You're right saltydog :captain:. I didn't thought that someone would say the correct ansewer with the first try ;D

anyone to go
-
Put another quiz, because your last one wasn't ansewered :thumbs:
-
Name of this battleship, and why was she painted red?
-
Well I don't know it's name but I guess that it's painted red because it sails in frozen waters... :captain:
-
Here's a hint: Operation Crossroads.. :)
-
USS Nevada :captain:
-
Right :thumbs:
She was painted red because she was a target ship in Operation Crossroads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crossroads)
-
Now a difficult one... :o
To which vessel this bridge belongs?
Hint: The ship sails in Aegean waters.
-
come on guys, try... If you are very confused inform me to give a hint :)
-
Well to be honest, its a very difficult one unless you've actually been on the bridge of that ship... ;)
-
well i agree with you but that's the spirit of a quiz... ;) Anyway you're right and I inform you that this ship belongs to Blue Star Ferries.... I hope you gonna find it more easily :2thumbs:
-
It's a guessing game, the picture is probably not to be found on the net.
So now we guess all Blue Star ferries?
At least give us year of build.. ;)
Otherwise you may just as well ask: on which ship is this bridge?
-
Anyway i understand that you are very difficulted to find my question, so I'll show you the ship...To be honest they're two brother ships which are exactly the same, except of some differences in the interiors (I have traveled with both of them ;D). The bridge is exactly the same both of the ships... :captain:
The ships are Blue Star 1 http://www.bluestarferries.gr/site/content.asp?sel=691&loc=1&query=
and Blue Star 2 http://www.bluestarferries.gr/site/content.asp?sel=692&loc=1&query=
And there's a video of their construction....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyW1V5OmKVk
You see, it was very easy to find it after the hint I gave that the ship belongs to Blue Star Ferries :thumbs:
-
A very easy one now, so the quiz can continue with other palyer's quizes and not only mine :angel: ;D ;D
Which ship is that?
-
Silja Europa! :2thumbs:
-
I think it's safe to say you're right, Captain Best.
GeoP17 was just here, but he must have forgotten to give the 'green light'.. ;)
-
Alright then! I'll just move forward with the very next question!
This, my favourite vessel, what's her name?
(http://multimedia.dn.no/archive/00138/LB__Color_Line__MS__138443a.jpg)

-
What does it mean operator? The captain?
-
The company which first operated the ship (before color line)
-
Well I have found this pic where the ship is with its first company colors, but i cannot understand from which company the ship is... :-X
I think it's either DFDS Seaways or Irish Ferries :)

It was owned by Jahre line first, after it merged with another company it becamr Color Line

Hint 2: Llanddulas, North Wales. Will give another hint if it is not got in a couple of hours.
-
I've often wondered how the would change them... ;)
Unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones on!
In theory it can be done underwater, in practice, whatever caused the blades to be damaged enough to need changing would probably require a dry docking.
-
Anyway, heres mine! What ship is this and what happened to her next?
Here's what happened. C'mon guys. put your thinking caps on! ;)

Actually the Star and Queen are correct, but you're missing one. And for bonus points, can you tell me where that third ship was relocated?
-
I thought GeoP's second answer would be correct..
Original means: preceding all others in time.. ;)

-
When you say basically? ;)
Anyways! What ship is this and what happened to her?
-
Le Joola, capsized in a storm (due to passenger overload?)
-
Correct!
On September 26, 2002, Le Joola set sail from Ziguinchor in the Casamance region on one of its frequent trips between southern Senegal and the country's capital Dakar. It was about 1:30 pm. Although the ship was designed to carry a maximum of 580 passengers and crew, an estimated 1,863 passengers are believed to have been on board. At around 11 pm, the ship sailed into a storm off the coast of the Gambia. As a result of the rough seas and wind, the ferry quickly capsized, throwing passengers and cargo into the sea. Detailed reports indicate that this happened in less than five minutes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_ship
I thought that those words were synonyms :doh: :doh: :doh:
-
It must have something to do with the fact that ships are always referred to as a 'she'.. ;D
-
It must have something to do with the fact that ships are always referred to as a 'she'.. ;D
yes, in greek language everything is different because every word is a different gender
ex the ship is called: το πλοίο
the propeller is called: η προπέλα
the captain is called: ο καπετάνιος
letters in bold show the gender of it's word...

-
it's M/F Maersk Anglia, isn't it?
-
It's certainly one of the four sisters GeoP, Maersk Anglia, Mearsk Flanders, Maersk Importer and Maersk Exporter, I sailed on a vessel which was on charter to Norfolk Line, the operator and used to meet up with the captain and chief every Saturday Morning in Vlaardingen for coffee and cakes!
They are now owned by DFDS seaways and have silly names like Anglia Seaways and Flandria Seaways, not sure about the importer and exporter though. For some reason they were known as the E class (I assume the exporter was the first of the class)
Apparently they were terrible ships to sail on in bad weather.
-
soooo, am i correct? :P
-
It is the Maersk Flanders, but as I said the Maersk Anglia is also correct.
You may continue.
Ps: the Importer and Exporter are a little bit different then the Anglia and Flanders.
And clanky the Exporter is now known as the Stena Scotia (route: Marseille-Oran-Mostaganem) and the Importer is now called Stena Hibernia (route: Birkenhead-Belfast)
The Anglia seaways can be found on the route Heysham-Warrenpoint, and the Flanders is the only of the 4 vessels that is sailing to the first harbor since the maiden voyage in 2000 Felixstowe-Vlaardingen (Vlaardingen was first Scheveningen)
-

or maybe when you put the ship up you could state how long for that ship. As we are all on different times, like me sunday is the only day i can play this because i can be online all day if i wish to ;D
-
I usually check the forum every day, mostly morning and evening, so don't worry about me :)
And sorry, no it isn't AIDALuna, its her sister though!

Maybe not a bad idea. You can put between brackets how long you want the question to stand. In other words in which time you as questioner can give a green light. Perhaps between 2h-48h. After that time anyone can go.. ;)

it's Majesty of the Seas... it was actually extremeny easy to find it. I just searched "cruise ships" and this one was the first picture it came out :doh:

As for your idea; if you can post the exact same picture, I see no problem with it.. ;)

This ship on the far right's final name and what is her history?
-
I assume you mean the ship on the right?
-
Corrected! :doh:
-
I knew its history but I had forgotten it so i should search it on the internet...
Anyway...her name is Zoe (ex MV Regent Sky) and her history is:
Reports have appeared on the ship scrapping register that the uncompleted hull of what was to be the cruise ship 'Regency Sky ' is to be scrapped in Turkey.
In recent years the name Zoe was on her hull.
This ship was being built as the ferry 'Stena Baltica' for Stena Line, having been ordered in 1984, but due to problems at the Gadansk shipyard she was not completed and bought by Regency Cruises in 1989.
She was towed to Greece and some work was carried out on her before Regency Cruises had financial problems and closed down.
In recent years there had been reports that she was to be completed as a modern cruise ship but later reports suggested that the hull, which was extended in Greece, was suffering from extensive rusting problems.

Hurricane Sandy is the first clue... :)

I think it was the '"Bounty'' Or something similar?

Correct, a replica ship built for the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty. Sadly, she sank in Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and two people, a descendant of a HMS Bounty mutineer and the vessels captain, were killed. :(

Seabourn Quest!? :doh:

You could be right, Danny.. ;D
-
YES!!!!!! YOU ARE RIGHT! :2thumbs:

FINALLY! ;D
This ship, and what does she transport?
-
How about a clue, Danny? ;D
-
Ok, NASA ;)

Delta Mariner.
Transporting components for the Boeing Atlas V and Delta rockets from the manufacturer, located in Decatur, Alabama, to launch facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Martin :captain:

Correct! Your go! :D

Who's she? :-\

Time for a new one.. ;)
Name of this sideways icebreaker ?

But then let me solve my question:
It's the "Sonnenkönigin" ("Sun Queen"), a privately owned vessel on duty since 1st Sep 2008 on the Lake of Constance. You can charter her for event tours and she's the largest ship there with a capacity of 1.000 guests, but she isn't used for the normal daily ship routine.
Best wishes,
Martin

The UK new Aircraft carrier (HMS Prince Of Wales) is expected to launch in 2016. What was the name the Prince joked about naming it instead of him? (I got a feeling this is a good one :thumbs:)

Is it 'Ark Royal'?

HMS Henry?

Is it 'Ark Royal'?
Correct - was it a hard one?
Bonus points if you can say why he wanted it to be called HMS Ark Royal?
-
Nice find, Danny :thumbs: I found this article (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/theroyalfamily/8487325/Prince-Charles-saves-Ark-Royal.html) about the renaming.
Seems the Prince wasn't entirely joking.. ;)

That was a stab in the dark - I had read that he 'had been approached' about it but not about him joking about it :D
