Which ship is this..?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #61 on:** March 17, 2009, 19:04:50 »

No idea, give us a clue!!

saltydog · « **Reply #62 on:** March 17, 2009, 19:14:54 »

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 donâ€™t get seasick on herâ€”after that first wild maneuver.

What research vessel lies at the bottom of Papeete harbor?

saltydog · « **Reply #68 on:** March 17, 2009, 20:19:12 »

Maybe Marty could, it's a tough one..
Been searching in Papeete, couldn't find the sunken vessel..

saltydog · « **Reply #69 on:** March 17, 2009, 20:50:47 »

I've even been studying James Cook's travels..Think I'll sit this one out..

saltydog · « **Reply #70 on:** March 17, 2009, 21:34:25 »

Green light for a new one.. (nobody's gonna get Papeete..)

mvsmith · « **Reply #71 on:** March 17, 2009, 21:44:13 »

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.

Thatâ€™s why she is on the bottom. They have raised one of her iron anchorsâ€”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 canâ€™t tell which shearlegs that is. Probanly one of Smit's

1961

Hereâ€™s a trivia question to think about: On what Pacific Island do you find the Flying Fox?

saltydog · « **Reply #74 on:** March 17, 2009, 22:16:17 »

That could be Citadel Island..
