You're right Mike, Turbinia, but mention why she is special..

Interesting that she has 3 shafts with 3 props on each.

Ok, it's the well-known Willem Ruys (then Achille Lauro).

saltydog · « **Reply #3044 on:** September 10, 2009, 21:42:13 »

At last, yes it's the Willem Ruys (then Willem Ruys)..

So she was Ruys & stayed Ruys till the end?

Name of this one, built in 1957.

saltydog · « **Reply #3046 on:** September 10, 2009, 21:56:17 »

A slight misunderstanding of the word "then"..
I meant "at the time", you meant "afterwards"..
Indeed the Willem Ruys later became the Achille Lauro..

What do you expect if my English is not perfect?

Find that sad ship...

saltydog · « **Reply #3048 on:** September 10, 2009, 22:16:13 »

Your English is very good.. "Then" has both those meanings..

It bugs me that I've seen that kind of funnel before, but can't find the ship..

Fairstar of Sitmar Cruises, only they could build a ship which looked 10 years old when new!
