Nope..

(no icebears in the Antarctic)

Hah! I knew it! I was also thinking about why that icebear would be there because the painter lacked background information.

The Sandman beckons..

It's the SS Vega, SS Vega was a Swedish barque, built in Bremerhaven Germany in 1872. She was the first ship to complete a voyage through the Northeast Passage, and the first vessel to circumnavigate the Eurasian continent

The big Flood Barriers of the Thames.

I can already recognize that ship by her bow, which I won't forget since she was in Rotterdam.

saltydog · « **Reply #9460 on:** July 26, 2012, 20:43:02 »

Unquestionably it was the Thames Barrier, with the HMS Ocean passing through.
She will stay in London for the duration of the Olympic Games..
Virtual Skipper to go..

Sadly there are many precautions, such as these..
Looks like the Brits are taking their defence very seriously..

"The British don't to things by half's!" - a German tank commander, who's tank was dispatched to rescue a British IFV from a river in Afghanistan.... the IFV was up to its roof....

Ontopic - is she the M/V "Enea"?

Youre right

What type of rudder is being installed here ?

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #9469 on:** July 31, 2012, 16:34:29 »

Becker TLFKSR twisted leading edge flap rudder systems

saltydog · « **Reply #9470 on:** July 31, 2012, 16:55:21 »

Becker Flap Rudder is right, though I don't think it's a "twisted leading edge" kind..
Your go anyway..

A german cruiseship is at the moment in London. What was the big diskussion for the last days about her?

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #9472 on:** July 31, 2012, 19:15:59 »

Clue:

saltydog · « **Reply #9473 on:** July 31, 2012, 22:46:35 »

The MS Deutschland.
The argument was about her new owner wanting to change her flag from the German to the Maltese, eventually leading to the captain getting fired..
