You have 'brother-ships' in Greece?

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #10192 on:** January 03, 2014, 10:45:57 »

Michael_Taal is correct!

There is one other sister ship to Le Boreal and L'Austral; Le Soleal, and a new ship of the same type will be coming in 2015.

of course saltydog

..a few examples are:

Blue Star Paros-Blue Star Naxos (there's also Blue Star Ithaki which has fewer cabins than the others)
Blue Star 1-Blue Star 2
Blue Star Patmos-Blue Star Delos (there are only a few differences between them)
Nissos Chios-Nissos Mykonos (there are only a few differences between them)
Olympic Champion-Hellenic Spirit
Speedrunner III-Speedrunner IV
Knossos Palace-Festos Palace-Olympia Palace-Europa Palace

of course saltydog ..a few examples are:

What I meant was that the usual term for a (nearly) identical ship is 'sister ship'.
A 'brothership' is something entirely different..

I thought that those words were synonyms

It must have something to do with the fact that ships are always referred to as a 'she'..

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...

LET"S LEFT ALL THOSE BEHIND NOW AND TRY TO FIND michael_taal'S QUIZ
