Hello everybody,

I am just taking a shot at creating a game with a very nautical theme. I would encourage participation from as many as possible.

Aim of the game ...
PARTnerSHIP is all about searching the Net for pictures of ships, but with a twist.
It will also give you an opportunity to refer to online nautical dictionaries / glossaries for assistance.
The ships can be of any type - merchant ships, cruise liners, warships, yachts, RHIBs, etc.

The twist ....
The picture should ONLY be a part (space / fitting / structure / machinery / appliance, etc) of a ship. Not a general view of a whole ship

How to play ....
I will explain it in pictures ....

I have decided to post the picture of the forecastle of a ship

Forecastle

Now since the word "Forecastle" ends with "E", the next player should post a picture of a ship's part beginning with "E". This should be specified by the poster - "Next picture should start with the letter "E"

So, let's take "EPIRB" and post it.

Got the idea ? Now anybody can post a picture of a ship's part beginning with "B"

Any player is welcome to politely contest another player's picture if he / she thinks it is inappropriate or not nautical and post a picture in lieu. As always let's keep it nice and tidy.

In the event, the game has poor participation or disinterest it will be discontinued.

Good luck and have fun !

So who's next - The picture should begin with "B"

And you have to have something to operate the engine with I suppose..

So here's an Engine Order Telegraph!

What a coincidence Salty ..... I assure you I m not a mind reader!

Salty, just a friendly reminder - please guide the next poster as to what alphabet his picture should begin with. Thanks.

Fred has just posted, so it's OK now.

Thanks Fred, for joining.

For the next poster - your picture should begin with the alphabet "H".

Thanks Fred, for joining.

My pleasure, nice game!!

Specially going to get interesting when particular letters come up, lateron, after the obvious things have been done already.

Fred.

Next letter: M

Ralphy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2011, 12:17:24 »

Mooring rope

E up next...again

Denis · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2011, 12:43:03 »

Nice game :-)

so, here's an Echo Sounder

next begins with R !

saltydog · « **Reply #13 on:** January 27, 2011, 12:56:17 »

The rudder..

Next: R..

Denis · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2011, 13:02:01 »

okay,

this is a ro-pax.

Next is x ... That's interesting

saltydog · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2011, 13:25:56 »

If I understand correctly, that's a wrong answer..
A Ro-pax is a type of ship. Answers should be about a part of a ship..

I think next letter is still R..

Denis · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2011, 16:23:34 »

Okay ... So let's say my previous picture was showing a ro-pax hatch, which is a part of a ship. So, next letter is H

vin_sun · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2011, 16:31:19 »

Halyard

Next picture to start with "D"

Denis · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2011, 16:38:59 »

What about a Dynamic Positioning Console ?

saltydog · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2011, 17:04:06 »

Sure..Here's an ECDIS

Next letter: S

vin_sun · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2011, 18:32:07 »

Starboard

Next picture with "D"

Traddles · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2011, 18:34:12 »

Hi Vinod,
You are too fast.

I was about to post this one as "sidelight".

vin_sun · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2011, 18:35:55 »

Hi Angus,

Give a shot with "D"

saltydog · « **Reply #23 on:** January 27, 2011, 18:55:34 »

Please do Traddles, cause your answer seems more correct than Vin_Suns..

vin_sun · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2011, 19:00:36 »

Yes, I agree .... sidelight is more apt !!

So, the next picture with a "T"
