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?)".

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?

Is that the Empress of Ireland?

Traddles · « **Reply #285 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:31:53 »

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?

?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #287 on:** March 31, 2009, 13:23:55 »

Wrong

Question is still open

Traddles · « **Reply #288 on:** March 31, 2009, 14:28:24 »

Hi Mike, could she be "Montlaurier" or "Montrose"?

Angus.

Yes she was the Montlaurier, but that is only part of the question!!!

Mike

Traddles · « **Reply #290 on:** March 31, 2009, 19:37:04 »

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.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #291 on:** March 31, 2009, 20:25:35 »

Well done Angus. Better than another ferry question eh? Your go....

Traddles · « **Reply #292 on:** March 31, 2009, 22:08:27 »

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"

Traddles · « **Reply #294 on:** March 31, 2009, 22:24:49 »

Harrison Line is of course correct, but they never had a ship called "Chartsman", sorry.

"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

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

saltydog · « **Reply #297 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:09:38 »

Which cruise ship is this..?

Hint: she was the first of several ships in a popular (German) tv-serie..

matt5674 · « **Reply #298 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:52:13 »

I know it ain't Queen Elizabeth 2. But a different ship

saltydog · « **Reply #299 on:** April 01, 2009, 08:49:50 »

Couldn't find mine eh..?
