Speaking of Duluth, what's the name of his ship ?

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9602 on:** April 10, 2013, 01:53:59 »

She's either the Alpena or her sister ship that I conveniently forgot the name of.

I'll go with Alpena.

Edwin H. Gott. She is the most powerful ship on the Great Lakes, generating 19,500 hp with two diesel engines. She has a self-unloading boom on deck that can be extended to shore to discharge cargo at a rate of 10,000 tons per hour.

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9607 on:** April 11, 2013, 17:55:37 »

Have I really asked that question before?

But yes, the power of the ship is correct, but what is the second identifying characteristic? Here's a hint: it has to do with unloading.

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #9608 on:** April 11, 2013, 23:30:18 »

Ã„hm, is it not too in my answer? The self-unloading boom.

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9609 on:** April 12, 2013, 01:29:56 »

Yes, but what about it? Pretty much every ship in the Great Lakes has a self unloading boom.

saltydog · « **Reply #9610 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:43:59 »

The answer can be found on this site (http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/gott.htm)
In short, the Gott has the longest boom on the Great Lakes..

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9611 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:53:55 »

Correct. Your go.

Name of this classic yacht, launched 1921?
-Clue: constructed by Great Lakes Engineering Co.

Mr Robville · « **Reply #9613 on:** April 14, 2013, 17:56:26 »

That must be the SS Delphine

I know that ship From the S.S. Ricotta which is being made for VSF by Kyle Hudak (Hudizzle) who also made the VS Titanic. Ricotta is based on the Delphine.

Who knows this one?

hint: It's owned by a college.

saltydog · « **Reply #9614 on:** April 14, 2013, 18:49:40 »

You are right, Mr Robville. She is the SS Delphine..

Mr Robville · « **Reply #9616 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:23:25 »

Yes it is

saltydog · « **Reply #9617 on:** April 20, 2013, 13:18:58 »

Name of this ship ?

clanky · « **Reply #9618 on:** April 20, 2013, 13:21:21 »

Is it OK to answer if I don't want to pose a question?

I did a trip on her as second engineer.

saltydog · « **Reply #9619 on:** April 20, 2013, 13:23:47 »

That's alright, just say her name and then it's anyone to go..(things are pretty slow here anyway)
I imagine it must have been quite an adventure sailing on her..

clanky · « **Reply #9620 on:** April 21, 2013, 05:06:46 »

It certainly was, she is the RMS St. Helena, the last true Royal Mail Ship in existence (i.e. one that delivers mail rather than is allowed to use the name).

The Island of St. Helena is a British protectorate in the Atlantic, the people of which are a bastardised collection of Africans, Portuguese, British, Spanish and French. The mix seemed to have worked well though because as a race they are some of the friendliest people I have ever met.

The ship sails from the UK to St. Helena to South Africa, calling at continental Europe, Ascension Island and West Africa on occasions. She is operated by Andrew Weir Shipping on behalf of the UK government, she was initially manned by mainly British officers, but Andrew Weir have trained Saint Helenians and they now make up the majority of the officers and crew onboard.

She rolls like a pig!
