This ship was the ninth thousand-foot vessel to be launched in the Great Lakes. What is her name, and what company is she the property of?

Jake_Savage · « **Reply #9776 on:** July 10, 2013, 07:18:57 »

Indiana Harbour.Great lakes and seaway shipping (If I don't reply in 2 hrs add new question for me)

Rbsanford · « **Reply #9777 on:** July 10, 2013, 18:58:35 »

The name is correct, but the company is actually American Steamship. You're next.

Jake_Savage · « **Reply #9778 on:** July 10, 2013, 20:54:41 »

Hint :

saltydog · « **Reply #9780 on:** July 11, 2013, 15:12:29 »

A remarkable coincidence:

"On December 5, 1664, a ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales. It has 81 passengers and each one of them died except for a man named *. Same date on December 5, 1785, a ship with 60 people aboard met its horrible fate when it sank in Menai Strait. Only one survivor is recorded -- a man named *. After hundreds of years, on December 5th 1820, a third vessel sank in the Menai Strait. 25 were aboard and drowned except, --- do I really need to tell you who the sole survivor is? Yes, it is a man named *."

What was the name of the survivor?

Idk if I'm meant to do this but the answer to mines was multiple manslaughter and abandoning ship/cowardess.

Hugh Williams was his name.

I wonder if a Hugh Williams will register in this forum and invite people to go on a cruise with him...

saltydog · « **Reply #9784 on:** July 11, 2013, 16:14:27 »

Hugh Williams is correct..
I doubt people will board a ship if they learn there is a passenger with the name Hugh Williams..

Your go..

Hi here is my question why does the Queen Elizabeth 2 (1968) have the arabic number not the roman one unlike HM The Queen.

Traddles · « **Reply #9796 on:** July 26, 2013, 16:55:35 »

Because the only person who can use the II suffix is Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II.

No Tradeles good try though hint: its in; QE2 Forty Years Famous by Carol Thatcher

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #9798 on:** July 27, 2013, 10:12:01 »

It is not named after the Queen but is simply the second ship to bear the name?

Sith Lord · « **Reply #9799 on:** July 27, 2013, 14:42:45 »

Yes That is one of the right answers the other I would have excepted is it was for clarity to other ships.
