That company would be Seatrade which owns 130 vessels.

The Anfield has something which belonged to a ship scrapped in 1889-1890. What is this 'something' and to which ship did it belong?

saltydog · « **Reply #9158 on:** June 06, 2012, 18:27:34 »

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..

Alright what ship won the very first Blue Riband in 1838?

The Siruis?

matt5674 · « **Reply #9161 on:** June 07, 2012, 16:54:17 »

@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?

saltydog · « **Reply #9162 on:** June 07, 2012, 17:49:27 »

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..

Name of this ship, and what's exceptional ?

danny · « **Reply #9164 on:** June 10, 2012, 21:52:34 »

She's the USS Pueblo (AGER-2)
Made famous when she was captured by north korea.

saltydog · « **Reply #9165 on:** June 10, 2012, 21:54:45 »

Right..The only ship of the U.S. Navy currently being held captive..

Anyone to go because I'm having a minor case of "CBA"

saltydog · « **Reply #9167 on:** June 13, 2012, 18:46:23 »

Name of this ship (and where is she) ?

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9168 on:** June 13, 2012, 18:51:41 »

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...

saltydog · « **Reply #9169 on:** June 13, 2012, 18:53:53 »

Right..To be complete, this picture was taken as she sailed through the Suez Canal..

Your go..

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9170 on:** June 14, 2012, 01:42:05 »

can't think of a good question.

anyone's go.

matt5674 · « **Reply #9171 on:** June 14, 2012, 01:59:19 »

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.

Quaysider · « **Reply #9172 on:** June 15, 2012, 10:28:53 »

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.

matt5674 · « **Reply #9173 on:** June 15, 2012, 20:18:18 »

Yes! Your go.

Quaysider · « **Reply #9174 on:** June 16, 2012, 09:13:04 »

Can you name the vessel and her special purpose? Bonus point for the other one too!
