I can't think of any questions now so anyone to go next.

danny · « **Reply #8804 on:** May 01, 2012, 18:48:19 »

What was the first ship to use fuel cells in the north sea?

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #8805 on:** May 01, 2012, 18:56:46 »

I hope I have correctly understood the question.

you mean: Viking Lady?

danny · « **Reply #8806 on:** May 01, 2012, 19:28:05 »

Correct!

The last Cruiseliner that earned the "Blue Riband of the Atlantic" and what was her speed on west and east course?

saltydog · « **Reply #8808 on:** May 01, 2012, 21:01:24 »

The current Blue Riband holder (Westbound record) is the SS United States, since 1952(!) Av.speed 34.51 knots
Not surprisingly, she also holds the record for the fastest Eastbound crossing.. Av.speed 35.59 knots

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #8809 on:** May 01, 2012, 22:02:42 »

O.k.

sorry for the late answer, play Multiplayer at present.

your turn

saltydog · « **Reply #8810 on:** May 01, 2012, 22:34:46 »

Staying with this theme: after a ship had won the Blue Riband she would fly a blue pennant..
How long was this pennant?

clanky · « **Reply #8811 on:** May 01, 2012, 22:44:02 »

40 foot (around 13m)

saltydog · « **Reply #8812 on:** May 01, 2012, 22:52:35 »

Nope.. I'm off to bed, the answer is: the length depended on the average speed of the crossing..
So in the case of SS United States, it would have been about 34.5 feet..
Anyone to go..

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #8813 on:** May 02, 2012, 13:53:17 »

The name of this "Beast", and what was the historical moment on her?

larsdehaan · « **Reply #8814 on:** May 02, 2012, 15:28:54 »

Hmm time for a gamble

ehm.. Uss Missouri or either the Uss Iowa

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #8815 on:** May 02, 2012, 15:32:34 »

Looks more like USS New Jersey to me.

larsdehaan · « **Reply #8816 on:** May 02, 2012, 15:42:35 »

Right now, that book is in my head and pages are added to it every day.

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #8818 on:** May 02, 2012, 15:51:56 »

i give you a clue:

She is not: â€žnationally significant in American history and cultureâ€œ

only: "National Register of Historic Places"

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #8819 on:** May 02, 2012, 16:19:11 »

USS Massachusetts?

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #8820 on:** May 02, 2012, 16:34:36 »

Nope

Clue: 400.000 people visit this ship every year, and one of the reason is the brass plate on the Surrender-Deck. The Inscreption: Over this spot on ..... The ship at that time was anchor in ....

You know the answer, but which of both is it?

And what is the answer of the second part of my question?

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #8822 on:** May 03, 2012, 00:02:27 »

Time is over for that.

1. USS Missouri (BB63) the "Mighty Mo"
2. Signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender

Anyone next.

saltydog · « **Reply #8823 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:54:05 »

Name of this ship?

larsdehaan · « **Reply #8824 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:58:23 »
