Here name is St Helena but there is a lot of special things with her and she is one of the last ships to have the designation royal mail ship

saltydog · « **Reply #1802 on:** August 07, 2009, 17:41:41 »

Well, I practically spelled it out..Yes, the last traditional mail ship..

Your go..

"RMS St Helena Saved

May 27: RMS St Helena is saved. Originally it was expected that the RMS St Helena, the last traditional mail ship in the world, was to be retired from service by the British Government and the St Helena Government in 2010 following completion of the new airport on St Helena. The ship is operated on behalf of the two Governments by Andrew Weir Shipping and sails from Cape Town to St Helena and Ascension Island. On occasion it also sails on the classic mail ship voyage from Portland to Cape Town via St Helena and Ascension Island. However it was recently confirmed to me by sources close to Andrew Weir Shipping that the RMS St Helena in fact will not be retired in 2010. This is because, due to the economic crisis, work on constructing the new airport has been significantly delayed and now will not be completed until 2019/2020. As a result the RMS St Helena will continue in service until at least 2019/2020 and possibly longer. So this last traditional mail ship sails on!

We are delighted by this good news and wish the RMS St Helena every success and it seems she has at least another decade of service. We would encourage people to patronise her voyages as much as they can in order to support this fine ship and her classic voyage experience.

From those words it could be probably the GTS Finnjet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTS_Finnjet).

Quote

At the time of her delivery, Finnjet was the fastest, longest and largest car ferry in the world, and the only one powered by gas turbines. At the point of her scrapping in 2008, she remained the fastest conventional ferry in the world, with a recorded top speed of 33.5 knots.

Hehe A tricky one, VH. But I was sure that you're about Finnjet, because you're a big fan of her & all those Baltic ferries...

I'll skip my turn in favour of SD.

Ok, I have a nice one here..

Name of this elegant ocean liner..(bonus if you say who built her)

You can see that it stands Oceanic on the ship

Built by Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico

(Edit)+I'm not so intrested of the ships here in the baltic i know ferrys alla around the world but is's easyer to make questions about the ferrys in the baltic
