Both of you 2 are wrong

saltydog · « **Reply #5882 on:** February 11, 2010, 18:30:22 »

Judging by the flag, I would guess a British warship..Can't make out what the structure behind the funnels is..

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #5883 on:** February 11, 2010, 18:33:30 »

Last tip I give about the cause of the sinking: QM

good luck

Hoy,
Well, in the 1920's,traveling by cruiseliner was not very comfortable.I mean not the food or something,however the movement of the ship was not pleasant for the passengers.

An italian bureau designed and putted a tool(instrument) on the ship,to keep the ship very much more steady.

What was that tool(instrument)

Regards
Marc

Stabilizer?

marcstrat · « **Reply #5890 on:** February 11, 2010, 22:09:26 »

Nope.
A very good try.

saltydog · « **Reply #5891 on:** February 11, 2010, 22:11:29 »

This sounds very familiar..Something in the stern..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #5892 on:** February 11, 2010, 22:12:18 »

bilge keel?

marcstrat · « **Reply #5893 on:** February 11, 2010, 22:14:08 »

They putted it in the bow,however you can put it everywere on the ship.
Best down in the ship,it was quit big at that time,and they used 3 of them.

marcstrat · « **Reply #5899 on:** February 12, 2010, 08:47:28 »

Also not.

In the 1920's,i think there was no azimuth.

They used it on a cruiseliner,no cruiseship.To keep the ship as level as possible with high seas.The tool itself exist from about 1908.
I think your better "google".
They build 3 of these tools(instruments)in that ship.
If i give more hints,i better tell it than.
At noon,you get it.
