Yes, Ferryman..In the first pic she is shown as the Norway, formerly the France
Diamant had earlier given the correct answer, I don't know why he later removed it..

What's her name & what was the ex-name?

The Achille Lauro (you removed the stars on her funnels), former name the Willem Ruys..

Anyone to go next..

If nobody minds, may I have a go? I have a question prepared......

What is the name of this famous ship. Hint, she lies off of New Jersey.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #830 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:14:14 »

SS Normandie?

S.Reich · « **Reply #831 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:18:36 »

Nice try, but not the correct answer, sorry

Nathan|C · « **Reply #832 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:22:01 »

Andrea Doria

Nathan|C · « **Reply #833 on:** May 03, 2009, 10:51:48 »

I can assume I've got it right. Google "Andrea Doria" and that image comes up.

New Question:

What's the name of this British ferry and who operates her?

She has been in service for about 7 years now, and they still haven't got a picture of her for newspaper adverts - the company was offering a special offer or something, and that picture was used. Maybe I should send them one of my shots, so they can update...

Nathan|C · « **Reply #835 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:01:44 »

The same picture is used for our newspaper, or this one;

http://www.poferriesfreight.com/freight/content/images/large_calais.jpg

Both are computer renders but surely it can't be hard to take a picture of the real ship..

I take it you know the answer to the question?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #836 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:12:26 »

Of course. It is the Pride of Canterbury, for P&O.

Just waiting to see if anyone else knew

(I'm very generous.

)

That other picture, by the way, is an old photoshopped picture, I think, because if you look, the front has no windows above the recessed ones, which they have now.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #837 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:14:04 »

You got it

Well spotted, it could well be photoshopped. I guess P&O wanted a nice rust free, clean picture of the Pride of Calais. And since the real one is quite far from rust free, they had to photoshop it

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #838 on:** May 03, 2009, 11:17:06 »

Okay, here is a slightly hard one...

What is the name of the sister ship to the Seafrance Cezanne and Stena Fantasia (now the Wawel). What happened to her...

saltydog · « **Reply #839 on:** May 03, 2009, 21:41:01 »

Yes, it's a slightly confusing one..
My guess is that the sistership was the Tzarevetz, eventually appearing as the Fantasia in 1990 on Dover-Calais services..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #840 on:** May 03, 2009, 21:43:52 »

Nope. Sorry

What I meant was the third Sister ship, not the Cezanne/Fiesta or Fantasia/Stena Fantasia...

What's her name? Owner was P&O

TSS Canberra

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #842 on:** May 04, 2009, 13:44:17 »

Another beauty, what's her name?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #843 on:** May 04, 2009, 13:55:34 »

Correct

Traddles · « **Reply #844 on:** May 04, 2009, 14:28:37 »

Blue Funnel Line "Centaur", Alfred Holt and Company, Liverpool.

Traddles · « **Reply #845 on:** May 04, 2009, 14:41:49 »

She was built for carrying passengers and SHEEP, at 20 knots between Singapore and Fremantle, Australia. 190 passengers and 4,500 sheep.

saltydog · « **Reply #846 on:** May 04, 2009, 23:34:32 »

Ok, which liner is this..?

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #847 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:30:07 »

At a wild guess-Is it the TSS Fairstar?

Jack.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #848 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:42:26 »

No Jack, it's was the:

SS Guglielmo Marconi

saltydog · « **Reply #849 on:** May 05, 2009, 10:48:05 »

SD says no, but go ahead anyway..
It was the Galileo Galilei, her sistership..
