Answer the previous one first please, while I work on yours.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #801 on:** April 28, 2009, 23:23:40 »

Correct , same shipping company as my previous one , that's why I thought you would get it quickly

Right!
I'll return to my favourite question-style:

What's the name of this world's second largest crane vessel, after the Thialf ?

"Saipem 7000" in 1999 when I was in Rozenburg the taxi back to the ferry took me via the dockyard at Botlek so I got a close up look at her (no photos though)

If you're more & only into cruise ships & liners - here's the right one for you:

"Dalmacija" of 1964

Why don't you post the next one, Quaysider..?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #805 on:** April 29, 2009, 20:47:55 »

People need to be carefull they don't kill this thread

saltydog · « **Reply #806 on:** April 29, 2009, 21:28:27 »

Some are very present..

So who has a good new one..?

Ok - my problem is I only post my own photos - I have several thousand but finding ones that are 'unique' and identifiable is rather tricky - so try this one for starters - taken in 1992.

The picture of this yacht is several years old, after remodelling by some small American bombs..
The ship is now for sale at a price of $35 million..
What is its current name..?

saltydog · « **Reply #809 on:** April 30, 2009, 22:21:17 »

The barge is the Giant 4..(you should have asked about the salvage of the Tricolor)

Quaysider · « **Reply #810 on:** April 30, 2009, 22:41:22 »

As no-one has tried to answer mine - the answer is "Inowroclaw" - a Polish ro/ro. She had one sister, the "Baltic Eagle" but the funnel markings were the give away.

saltydog · « **Reply #811 on:** April 30, 2009, 22:49:14 »

I did try, Quay..I'm still looking for a good site for funnel-colours..

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #812 on:** April 30, 2009, 22:52:04 »

SD

Yes I have had no luck on funnel colours at all = there is an opportunity there for some one with the time!

Mike

saltydog · « **Reply #813 on:** April 30, 2009, 22:58:26 »

I'll let you know when I find one..

saltydog · « **Reply #814 on:** April 30, 2009, 23:09:59 »

Thanks D, though it means leafing through allmost 200 pages..
Also, it probably doesn't apply to older shipping lines..
I was thinking of something more compact..

saltydog · « **Reply #815 on:** April 30, 2009, 23:28:08 »

Something like this (http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Flags_World-poster_L.jpg), but then for funnels..

saltydog · « **Reply #816 on:** April 30, 2009, 23:44:17 »

Let's just keep meddling on..Time for a new one..

Btw: the answer to my question is the Ocean Breeze...

saltydog · « **Reply #817 on:** May 02, 2009, 00:50:34 »

Next Sunday, this remarkable bridge will start its voyage from the Hollandia wharf in Rotterdam to Dublin..
Around 17.00 it will pass the Erasmus bridge..

What is the name of this future Dublin bridge..?

saltydog · « **Reply #818 on:** May 02, 2009, 15:42:42 »

Yes, it should be nice seeing those two bridges together..I'll post a picture of it on Monday..
The design is by the famous architect Santiago Calatrava, and represents a harp on its side..
The harp being a typical Irish symbol..

Quaysider · « **Reply #819 on:** May 02, 2009, 18:08:16 »

Been a while so here's another ship to guess. Can you name her and bonus point for her original name. Photo taken June 1992

saltydog · « **Reply #820 on:** May 02, 2009, 20:22:00 »

My guess is the Chandris liner The Victoria
Original name Victoria (Incres Line)..

saltydog · « **Reply #821 on:** May 02, 2009, 21:20:24 »

Ok, show a picture of this famous ocean liner in her former colours..

saltydog · « **Reply #822 on:** May 02, 2009, 21:21:51 »

Ok, I'll do it..

Your go..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #823 on:** May 02, 2009, 21:23:57 »

It is the SS France

Quaysider · « **Reply #824 on:** May 02, 2009, 21:57:25 »

Part one is correct but you don't get the bonus point - she was originally the "Dunnottar Castle" until 1958
