Well, it is a VERY Famous Train, and it went to America. It was late 60s...

After SD posted that YT link I was going to post "I'll leave it for capn_cal", but then noticed that you were faster than me.

saltydog · « **Reply #1844 on:** August 08, 2009, 23:52:58 »

You're right Firestar, it's "De Nieuwe Prins"...

firestar12 · « **Reply #1845 on:** August 08, 2009, 23:54:40 »

Oh, so I was right?
Ok, what ship was the first American Vessel to win the Blue Riband? Also list what year she won, and what her fate was.

TJK · « **Reply #1846 on:** August 09, 2009, 02:19:05 »

SS Sirius

SS Sirius, circa 1838: The Cork Steam Ship Company's 700 ton, 320-horsepower 'Sirius' built in 1837. She crossed from Cork to New York in April 1838. She has paddle, steam and sails.

Date 1838

The British and American Steam Navigation Company was a pre-Cunard steamship line that operated a regular transatlantic service from 1839 to 1841. Before its first purpose-built Atlantic liner, the British Queen was completed, British and American chartered the Sirius for two voyages in 1838 to beat the Great Western Steamship Company into service. B & A's regular liners were larger than their rivals, but were underpowered. The company collapsed when its second vessel, the President was lost in 1841.
