The P&O flag and the engines (no smoke)

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #4226 on:** October 30, 2008, 15:37:34 »

Only the P&O flag. Engines are at stop, therefore no smoke

Your turn

Over 2 hours, give us a clue!!

Sorry, PC isn't feeling very well, should be getting a rebuild soon. The answer was the Beneluxhaven, Rotterdam taken from the PO Rotterdam.

saltydog · « **Reply #4238 on:** October 31, 2008, 18:22:28 »

A tourist took a souvenir here..

What ?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #4239 on:** October 31, 2008, 18:45:22 »

The flag

saltydog · « **Reply #4240 on:** October 31, 2008, 18:46:58 »

Not the flag
Hint: it was a pretty big tourist.. Think King Kong in a Hawaian shirt..

Person264 · « **Reply #4241 on:** October 31, 2008, 19:53:53 »

The flag pole

It was the lighthouse..

Yeah, don't know why the lighthouse was so interesting for that "tourist"? Haven't got a lamp in the room?

saltydog · « **Reply #4243 on:** October 31, 2008, 21:28:37 »

It was the lighthouse..

Here's a new one:
When a vessel moves quickly through shallow water, there is a phenomenon that reduces its buoyancy, particularly at the bow. In severe cases it can cause the ship to run aground
What is this effect called..?

I know what're you talking about, but don't know how it called in ENGLISH

. When the ship is going on shallow water on pretty good speed, it's draft is increasing. That water, which is between the ships hulls bottom & the bottom of the sea (lake, chanel, bay) "moves faster" than that water which is near the ship. "Fast water moving" is making low pressure under the ship, "sucking" the ship in to the water, icreasing its draft, especially at the stern (the propeller is taking water also from under the ship & causing the higher water speed under & near the stern)....

Ah, correct me if I'm not right in something

saltydog · « **Reply #4245 on:** October 31, 2008, 21:48:58 »

You're absolutely right..It's called the "squat-effect"
It is suspected to have been a factor in the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise, and the running aground of the QE2..

Ok, where's this thing located?

MÃ¶hrchen · « **Reply #4247 on:** November 01, 2008, 11:35:42 »

That's in San Francisco. We have it even in the ShipSim

It's a sculpture there: a bow with an arrow

Yes, correct. Your turn....

MÃ¶hrchen · « **Reply #4249 on:** November 01, 2008, 12:46:59 »

OK, here is the next question:
Which ship can we see in this picture, and where is it

Please name the harbour and maybe the location
