To be honest, I'm very fond of all my local tugs.

http://j-eyres.fotopic.net/c1256804.html - Great pictures of them there.

However, if forced to, my favourite is the Trafalgar. I was fortunate enough to see both her lauch, and her commissioning ceremony, both around 10 years ago now, and have been out on her about 15-20 times. 

[Minime]

This is my favouriteship, the name is Smyril and it sails between two Islands in the Faroe Islands, I like it because of the good looking, speed and other stuffs
Don't have so much info about it

[Capt. Le Velle]

this is random but i heard the queen mary 2 is haunted

[llamalord]

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